90% of schools will be closed in Toulouse according to the unions
More than 80 kindergartens will be partially or totally closed this Friday March 25 in Toulouse. In question: a strike movement of the ATSEM, the specialized territorial agents of the nursery schools.
The unions announce a record mobilization. Canteen, daycare, classes… The disruptions will be significant this Friday, March 25, 2022 in the nursery schools of Toulouse. The reason for this mobilization: the reorganization of the assignment of the ATSEM transmitted by the municipality.
According to the unions, 80 agents would be threatened with forced mobility or a change of position at the start of the next school year. “We are not adjustment variables“, indignant Luce Valès, ATSEM and representative of the CGT Education union.
At the origin of the conflict, the decision of the city of Toulouse to redistribute the workforce of ATSEM. These agents would be redundant following the application of the civil service transformation law which now requires working 35 hours a week.
“At the start of the next school year, there will therefore be one ATSEM per class, and in schools that have more ATSEM than classes, the staff will have to move by force or change jobs.“, relates Luce Valès.
Indeed, the reorganization project plans to redistribute the surplus ATSEM in schools where there is a shortage, or to integrate them into a pool of mobile agents, or to convert them into animation agents.
The town hall does not provide any compensation for flying agents, it is scandalous. As for animation, that’s not our core business.

From Monday, the 800 or so ATSEMs in Toulouse will therefore have to make assignment wishes. And many fear that they will not be satisfied. “We refuse this process, we are still not going to apply for our own positions“, protests the CGT Education representative.
On the side of the town hall of Toulouse, Marion Lalanne Delaubadère, in charge of Education, affirms that only about forty agents will be concerned by mobility. “In the years to come, there will be many retirements from ATSEM, disappointed agents will therefore be able to request a transfer. The situation will resolve itself quickly“I esteem the chosen one.
For the deputy mayor, it was also essential to redistribute some of the supernumerary positions in the animation because this sector suffers from serious recruitment difficulties.
We have to be realistic, we are talking about public funds. I do not have the means to maintain supernumerary positions.
