“This is our only advantage …”
About a hundred agents gathered in front of the Convention Center. In work clothes… but on strike. The end of the party ended up triggering this strike. Anthony, agent at the Union depot, repeats it: ” the finished game is the only advantage we have“.
We work on the rain, in the wind, in the cold … rubble … But there is one thing that motivates us, which is that we know that we can finish early. We chose this job for that. If we take that away from us, this job no longer makes sense.
He is joined by Nicolas, who also officiates at the Union. “People go to higher education, have substantial salaries, that’s their motivation. We, on is not bac +5, but we do this work to have this advantage : get home early. ”
Ahmed, another agent, shifts: “We are 30-35 years old, we are fighting for our future because we have 20-25 years to shoot. If we don’t fight now… ”He points to“ an insult: that we are told that we work 3 hours a day and that after, on our day. This is not true… ”
A delegation was received
When discussing this renewable strike, Nicolas underlines it: “we are not paid, things have to move very quickly, so we can get back to work. And for people too: their trash cans are not collected, the holidays are coming... It annoys everyone ”.
Anthony remembers the previous movements. “We have already been on strike for another chosen one, but there weren’t that many people. This is the thing that unites us all : the finished job is the only advantage of the profession. “
At 9:55 am, a delegation (16 people) was received. Among her, Nicolas Refutin, general secretary of Force Ouvrière Toulouse Métropole, and Benoît Fontanilles, spokesperson for the intersyndicale, was received.
It has been noted that we accept the end of the game, but in the law, it is provided that they can grant a percentage of dangerous work, of arduous work. And this percentage can be contained every day. They agreed, at least, to enter into this kind of negotiation. It would no longer be called finished-gone, but we would still finish before the hour, and legally.
A new meeting before a strike?
A new meeting is scheduled for Friday December 17, 2021, at 9:30 am, at the Museum, with the Technical Department. ” The strike is not suspended, there will be strikers tomorrow, but less, we were less formal, ”continues Benoit Fontanilles.
But he warns: “We have filed a strike notice for Monday. It will depend on the outcome of tomorrow’s meeting: if there is no progress, we will go on a hard strike ”. The spokesperson for the intersyndicale believes that the strike “is very followed, at 80%”.
