No progress in the negotiations between Toulouse Métropole and the waste collection agents.

A new round of negotiations was scheduled for Thursday, ultimately no discussion was held. “Tuesday at the end of the negotiations, the administration asked if we wanted to see them again before the end of the week. We accepted and then we wrote to them. They did not follow up” says Benoît Fontanilles “which proves the will of the administration to have Toulouse sale for Christmas day” adds the secretary general of the autonomous federation of the territorial public service for Toulouse Métropole.

No resolution of the labor dispute before 2022?

Strategy of the decay of Toulouse Métropole? “Yes that seems obvious especially since they said that, if there were no negotiations by December 24, they were going on vacation next week.” No negotiations are therefore scheduled for next week “or with second knives“launches the skeptical trade unionist.

The sticking point according to the leader of the FAFPT 31: “they don’t want to hear about the legal reduction of working time”. Toulouse garbage collectors want the equivalent of their Marseille counterparts “or 15% of arduousness … Toulouse Métropole grants us 3%”. And no question for TM to grant this percentage in daily rest time “what the law allows” precise Benoit Fontanilles. No agreement on public holidays either “currently double paid and recovered”, device voué to disappear.

Toulouse Métropole would refuse to communicate the cost of recourse to the private sector

Our trade unionist does not take offense “They give us 14 hours for a hardship rate, while the Allô Toulouse service has 4 days. They don’t care about the garbage collectors!”

For our trade unionist, Toulouse Métropole will probably “appeal to the private sector” to clean up the city “and it is the Toulouse taxpayer who will pay “. TM called on two private providers to complete the collection: Véolia and La Coved. A dump truck would be rented, according to the trade unionist, 1000 euros per day “but they do not want to answer on the cost, explaining that that does not concern us, however I am a Toulouse taxpayer”.

The arm wrestling continues. Benoît Fontanilles promises that the garbage collectors “are ready to go.”

The reminder of the Metropolis about the social conflict

According to the community “most of the big cities (Nantes, Lyon, etc.) have already put an end to the finished job or are in the process of doing so”

Toulouse Métropole recalled the genesis of the social conflict, starting from the suppression of the “finite party”: “a use which until now has allowed deadlines to put an end to their working day once their waste collection round is finished, without waiting to have completed the number of hours provided for in their contract” in regards to “at a weekly working time much less than 35 hours”, “some, even, worked less than 25 hours per week”. Consequence: the agents did not return to the depot and did not exchange “with hierarchical superiors on the work accomplished. ” An incentive practice “therefore to complete the tour as quickly as possible” with “negative consequences on their health and on the quality of the collection”.

The community asks not to take out the garbage bins

To pay “limit the accumulation of orders in the streets “ Toulouse Métropole asked for “do not take out your bins on the public domain while the strike lasts” and of “reduce the production of waste during this period”, advisor “to go to recycling centers for the most bulky items”.
