The CGT has just announced an "act 2" from the garbage collectors' strike through its waste and sanitation sector, still in protest to the pension reform. A necessary decision for the union which explains that a "large majority" of cleaning staff has a life expectancy 12 to 17 years less than all France employees.

The CGT had announced on March 28 a suspension of the movement begun on March 6, for lack of strikers in sufficient number, in order to remobilize its troops.
