I don't disagree that the SNCF is contributing extra (estimate 1-2B a year given 130k employees), but it's not paid by the workers, it's not taken off their salary. It is a perk and it is not taxable. Bearing in mind, the total amount even with the extra is nowhere near enough to cover the actual benefits. 2018 results say 33B in revenues, 141m in profit. I stand corrected, it's not losing money every year lately, it's about even.
