Last minute cancellations
The administrative court of Marseilles had annulled at the end of October a deliberation of the municipal council approving the agreement reached with certain unions (FO, CFE-CGC, CFTC and Unsa) to ensure the continuity of public service in school canteens and in nurseries in case of a staff strike.
These movements, aimed at denouncing understaffing, are indeed recurrent in Marseille and regularly lead to service cancellations announced at the last minute. Under the terms of the agreement, the municipal agents could no longer carry out a strike at lunch time alone and without prior warning.
The city of Marseille, highlighting a risk of disorganization, had asked the administrative court of appeal to suspend the effects of the first instance decision, pending the result of its appeal on the merits of the case, which should take place ” in March 2023,” according to the court statement.
