Food packaging is piling up at Saint-Charles station in Marseille, where cleaners are on strike, fearing for their jobs after SNCF awarded the contract for Aix TGV station to a company, without guarantee of recovery of employees.

Collection of garbage cans and disinfection stopped since Wednesday: the rubbish overflowed near the platforms of the main station of the second city of France.

A banner hung on the facade indicated "cleaning on strike because of the SNCF", noted an AFP journalist on Monday.

The Aix TGV station cleaning market in question

“For several months, the climate with the SNCF has been very tense, especially since the award from April 1, 2022 of the cleaning contract for the Aix TGV station to a company “which leaves the nine employees on the floor”, details in a leaflet the CAT union of employees of cleaning companies.

The contract for the Aix TGV station was won "under very questionable conditions" by not "respecting" an appendix to the "collective agreement for cleaning companies guaranteeing employees to be taken back with the maintenance of all their achievements “, adds the document.
