1^uh January 2022 will be synonymous with a turning point for Toulouse garbage collectors. One of the flagship measures will be the end of the “finished party”, and as much to say that it causes a discord between the agents of collection and Toulouse Métropole.

The end of the “finished party”

“At 1^uh january 2022, the garbage collectors permanent 8 days off. It’s 1607 hours, it’s already unacceptable. And this is the end of finished-gone. They must not leave the depot before noon, ”explains Benoit Fontanilles (independent union).

As for collection agents, it is especially the second measure that is difficult to integrate. Until now, and for several decades, garbage collectors were allowed to leave their jobs after the tour was over. “From now on, the garbage collectors will stay at the depot, and it will be a time of exchange, according to the management, with the hierarchy, ”adds Benoit Fontanilles. “Can you imagine 120 agents chatting for an hour and a half?” It is the fantasy of the administration.”

All this is the logical consequence of the reorganization of the tours. I’ve been saying this for ten years that this is going to happen. The final coup de grace, it will be after this umpteenth reform, it will be the sale to the private sector, as they already do in certain sectors of Toulouse …

Towards action, a strike?

At this meeting, ” all unions, we fell from the clouds“.

Will the unions react? A meeting is to be held this week between the different trade union organizations. ” I’m not not for the option of a hard strike with trash cans piling up in town, answers Benoit Fontanilles. I will propose to do as we had done in the night shift.”

We had worked with excellence, that is to say by applying all possible and legal rules. We told the administration that if we respected the exact hours, the times of breaks, of clothing, that we did not drive on the bus tracks, we would not finish our sectors. We did that for 15 days, and afterwards, she asked us to do as before …

“The finished party lead to inequalities”

Mayor of Balma and Vice-President of Toulouse Métropole, Vincent Terrail-Novès is following this file closely. “The context is that of 1607 hours applied to all the agents of the community. Work is being done to apply this. Collection agents are not excluded from this system“, He explains. Before justifying decisions.

Within the framework of this device, to define the legal working time duration of Toulouse Métropole agents, we decided to put an end to the finished job since there is a reduction in the working hours of the agents of Toulouse Métropole. collection. The time allotted to each collection is not the same. We have agents who work 3 hours, others more than 5 hours. The idea is to harmonize all of this.

” Our commitment, is to behave as a responsible employer, chain the chosen one. Or the practice of finesse encourage actions that are not in the direction of the safety and health of our agents. “

The former regional candidate in Occitania also wishes to ” former agents of our by requiring them to go through the depot when they have finished their rounds, so that they can be reminder of good practices“.

“250 work accidents per year”

We have 500 collection agents at the Metropolitan DMT service. On average, between 2018 and 2020, we have 250 work accidents per year. The number of work accidents that we record in our department is 3.5x higher than in the other departments of Toulouse Métropole. It is considerable!

In the sights of the chosen one, “behaviors which endangers the safety of officers. Some, on a two-way lane, cross the road to go on the opposite side, to save twice as much time, instead of going up the street in the other direction… arrival “.

A technical committee scheduled for the end of November

A new meeting is scheduled: “There will be a technical committee at the end of November to ratify all this”, indicates Vincent Terrail-Novès, who adds: “due to the difficulty of the task, collection agents wait for 2 compensatory rest days“. This will also make it possible to “derogate from the application of the 1607 hours”.
