The local civil service unions have filed a strike notice valid from Monday, August 30 at the Lyon city hall.

The town hall, which employs a trifle of 8,500 people, must indeed comply with the law concerning the number of days of leave of its municipal officials.

The latter have in fact benefited for several mandates from three additional days of rest per year compared to the legal working time (1,607 hours per year).

However, the government, for the sake of equity and efficiency of public spending, asks a little too generous communities to apply the common rule, reports the daily

Le Progrès

.

Same situation in other cities

Negotiations are opened with the staff representatives.

The three additional days of leave could be maintained for trades considered "arduous", as provided by law.

On the other hand, for the others, the days in question could be deleted.

Otherwise, an extension of the weekly working time is envisaged.

A reduction in the number of annual leave or an increase in working time is also under discussion in other municipalities, such as Paris.
