The Bouches-du-Rhône police headquarters ordered the restoration of garbage collection in Marseille on Friday January 21. Agents were requisitioned for health and safety reasons. Since Tuesday, 1,500 tons of waste have accumulated.
Garbage cans piling up and overflowing on the sidewalks of the city center: an image that has become typical of the streets of Marseilles (Bouches-du-Rhone). For six months, strikes by waste collection agents have followed one another. The latest began on Tuesday January 18, an ordeal for the inhabitants. “My daughter does not go out here, it has become too much of an annoyance”, underlines a local resident.
This time, only Force Ouvrière called for a strike, for a salary increase of 83 euros, aimed at aligning Marseille agents on the grid of the Metropolis. But faced with a new threat to health, the police chief of Bouches-du-Rhône reacted on Friday January 21, by requisitioning the agents to ensure the collection until Monday evening. The union plans to take legal action against this requisition of staff. For its part, the Metropolis, in charge of waste management, should call on the private sector to clean up certain districts.
