It’s been a year since waste collection in Marseilles was the subject of a strike by its agents. The threat hovers again now, with the CGT, a minority union but which managed to relaunch the movement last year under the nose and beard of the all-powerful FO, which has a strike notice in progress.
In a press release that looks like an ultimatum to its management, the union indicates that “the fight will have to start”, if they are not listened to. The collection agents denounce a reorganization imposed “without consultation”. In the viewfinder in particular, the gradual shift of collections from Marseille night to morning, which causes traffic difficulties for skips and worked Sundays imposed for 3.5 euros more on the landfill sites of Martigues and Aix.
“The agreement signed following the last strike is absolutely not applied in its entirety,” he continues, thus brandishing the threat of a new garbage strike.
