• The town hall of Paris employs 5,000 contract workers and 20,000 temporary workers, and 1,600 of them have no other job and work more than half-time.

  • These agents are concerned by a "deprecarization" plan that the town hall wants to put in place, which will be voted on by the Paris Council on Tuesday.

  • Among the tools to "deprecarize", the town hall is considering offering multi-activity to people whose positions are part-time suffered: agents who supervise sports activities could be offered, for example - without obligation - to do more safety for pedestrians.

With more than 52,000 employees, and especially female employees, the city of Paris is a juggernaut in terms of human resources.

A real city within the city, with its privileged and its precarious.

It is to reduce the number of the latter, who are mostly women, that the town hall is launching a "deprecarization" plan.

The town hall employs 5,000 contract workers and 20,000 temporary workers.

All and all are not great precarious.

According to Antoine Guillou, Anne Hidalgo's assistant in charge of human resources, "the vast majority" of contract workers have renewable three-year contracts with the possibility, after six years, of obtaining a permanent contract (the national framework prohibits to give a CDI directly in the public service).

Among the temporary workers, nearly 4,000 have a job elsewhere.

And many temporary workers do not want to increase their working time, which is the case for students, for example.

1,600 people affected by deprecarization

But others undergo a part-time job that they and they did not choose, without any other resource.

For its plan of attack, the town hall has chosen to focus primarily on agents who have no other job and work more than half-time, i.e. 1,600 municipal staff members concerned.

The first stage of this plan will be voted on Tuesday in the Council of Paris and concerns 600 positions, which represent 315 full-time equivalents.

There are a hundred or so animators close to full-time to whom the town hall will offer the simplified competition to establish them.

Added to this are 500 cleaners who were on ten-month contracts and will be offered 12-month contracts.

And finally 50 school guards should also be part of this first batch.

They are mostly women: 56% of City officials are female agents, and 61% of temporary workers who do not have a permanent job elsewhere are female, specifies Antoine Guillou.

"Agents must be allowed to live in Paris"

"It's a cache-sex, it's simply an increase in the payroll, denounces Grégory Canal, adviser to the Changer Paris (LR) group and first finance assistant in the 15th arrondissement.

It's not a deprecarization plan, it's a tenure plan.

Fifty thousand agents is too much, we must stop this hemorrhage.

We should review all jobs, with a vision, a roadmap, which says “that's our priority objectives”.

And make certain positions that do not find takers attractive.

I have 500 crèche places that I cannot open because there are no nursery nurses, we cannot hire them.

They are not paid enough.

It's like the cantinières, they are paid with a slingshot and live very far away, and there is no social support policy.

Agents must be allowed to live in Paris.

All the unions are delighted with these announcements, except the FSU which denounces an “insufficient” plan.

“There are more than 11,000 temporary workers in the school affairs department.

Several hundred are in regular positions and could have 70% contracts.

There are also more than 600 adult course contractors in Paris and the city proposes to contract only 150 of them in three years”, regrets Nicolas Léger, co-secretary general of SUPAP-FSU.

The town hall is considering offering multi-activity positions

To “deprecarize” its staff, the town hall faces several difficulties.

First, the public service prohibits targeting such and such a person when it comes to a position open to competition.

She can only accompany people to the competition, which Antoine Guillou intends to do.

“We are going to offer them to prepare these recruitments and organize tests which take into account the professional experience acquired”, he explains to

20 Minutes .

But not all people can take the competition: some staff do not have French nationality, and therefore cannot be civil servants.

Another obstacle, and it is specific, this time, to the capital, according to Antoine Guillou, the city does not have the right to employ part-time civil servants.

What is more, since the law on the transformation of the civil service, it is prohibited, to avoid any competition with the status of civil servant, to offer contracts to people who do more than part-time.

“It started with a good intention to establish people, comments Antoine Guillou.

But in the city of Paris this has a rather deleterious effect, for agents between half-time and full-time we have no solution, neither contract nor tenure.

To circumvent these obstacles, and build full-time jobs in sectors where it is difficult to offer them, the town hall is considering offering multi-activity positions.

Agents who supervise sports activities could be offered, for example – without obligation – to do more pedestrian safety, so as to move towards a full-time job.

The reflection is in its infancy, and the town hall gives itself time.

Not surprising, since there is enough to completely upset the vision of work… “The concept of job description is indeed becoming very broad, comments Antoine Guillou.

It's quite innovative so we take our time.

It is a complex and long-term job!
