A specter haunts Marseille.
That of a massive strike by household refuse collection agents in Marseille, as the city has known in the past.
Thursday evening, some of the agents in charge of garbage collection did not leave the deposit of La Cabucelle, one of the two in the metropolis.
According to
La Provence,
only 10 of the 27 dumpsters in this depot left for their rounds.
The second filing would not have been impacted by this strike movement which is based on a notice filed by the CGT on September 1, which runs until the end of the year.
They intend to influence the negotiations around the reform of the working time of the agents of the Metropolis.
Reform which must be completed by January 1, 2022, as required by the law on the transformation of the civil service of August 6, 2019.

, Eric Rabato, elected CGT to the technical committee, confirms that agents have disengaged.
"I was at La Cabucelle Thursday evening to discuss with the agents after the negotiations with the administration which were held in the afternoon," he explains.
"Many were shocked by the administration's proposal," continues the elected CGT.
In detail, the agents are asking for, in particular, arduousness, a reduction in working time which serves as a basis for these negotiations, namely 1,607 hours per year.
“The administration offered us 1,530 hours.
We want a reduction of 20%, or 1,286 hours per year, ”explains Eric Rabito.
"This is already done on some of the agents of the Metropolis", he assures.
Negotiation in progress
“It's up to the officers to decide whether the strike will last or not.
But I hope that we will not get bogged down in a Marseille-Marseille situation, as we have known in the past ”, wishes Eric Rabito.
For the time being, no new round of negotiations is planned on the agenda.
Discussions are continuing, however, and a new meeting with the administration could take place early next week.
In the winter of 2020, Marseille garbage collectors went on strike for nearly two weeks.
Nearly 1,000 tons of waste had accumulated on the sidewalks of the city in a strike movement that demanded the departure of the deputy director of Derichbourg, the company holding the collection contract, accused of "harassment".
The situation had escalated, to the point that CRS had been deployed to unlock a deposit.
