Towards new requisitions?
“The employees of Issy voted Friday the end of the movement and resumed work. A boiler restarted this weekend, but the site was blocked all day Monday by the interpro”, explained to AFP Philippe Giraud, member of the CGT.
In Ivry, more than a hundred people calmly blocked the entrance to the site on Monday morning to demonstrate that “the determination is full and complete”, noted an AFP journalist.
On Friday, the Paris police headquarters had ordered the requisition of site staff, but the employees resumed their strike action on Monday, Karim Kerkoudi, a member of the CGT, told AFP. A general assembly was in progress in the evening to decide on the follow-up to be given to the movement.
In a press release Monday evening, the City of Paris reported an estimated 7,300 tonnes of uncollected waste in the streets of the capital, against 8,000 on Sunday and 10,500 on Friday. PS mayor Anne Hidalgo again convened a crisis unit on Monday to centralize information feedback on the ground. “Waste collection remains degraded today in a tense social context”, specifies the press release.
