At issue: negotiations on the Public Service Transformation Act, and the general transition to the 35 hours imposed on communities, entered into force on the 1 January.
For the nearly 600 ripers and drivers employed by the metropolis, this passage to 35 hours would mean working for 1,607 hours a year. In compensation, they ask for a recognition of hardship and 34 days of additional rest – so-called days of subjections – as well as an increase in their remuneration, premiums for holidays and Saturdays.
Until then, they enjoyed the saying of the “party finish” which allowed them to leave their work after their morning tours, about two hours less than the working time today imposed. For Nicolas Refutin, Secretary General of Force Ouvrière (FO) Toulouse Métropole and representative of the Intersyndical (FO, CGT, F-FPT, FSU, Solidaires South and UNSA), “The Métropole offers us only nine days of leave and Salary increases remain blurred “. At the end of a qualified meeting of “very heated” Wednesday, January 5, “We decided to tighten the movement today,” comments on the trade union delegate.

For the Mayor (the Republic in March) of Balma, Vincent Terrail-Novès, and vice-president of the metropolis, charged with the waste, “we have granted nine days and we could go up to eleven, but we do not go beyond “. The elected official stresses that the metropolis wants to “align with what has been granted to the agents of the municipal police. In total, our proposals amount to nearly 1 million euros, for a total payroll of 25 million It seems very reasonable to us, “he says.

The Mayor of Toulouse, and President of Toulouse Métropole, Jean-Luc Moudenc (Republicans), is returned for a long time on the situation during his wishes to the press.
