Three weeks after the start of the strike against the pension reform and against the use of 49.3 by the government, two of the three Parisian waste incineration sites were still blocked on Monday. In addition, 7.3 tons of garbage littered the streets of the capital on that date, announced the City and the metropolitan union Syctom.

On the eve of the tenth day of inter-union mobilization, only the Saint-Ouen site (Seine-Saint-Denis) was functioning normally. Those of Issy-les-Moulineaux (Hauts-de-Seine) and Ivry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne), the most important, were still blocked at the end of the day on Monday, we learned from Syctom and the CGT.

Towards new requisitions?

"The employees of Issy voted on Friday to end the movement and returned to 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 blocked the entrance to the site in the calm Monday morning to demonstrate that "the determination is full and complete," said an AFP journalist.

On Friday, the Paris police prefecture had ordered the requisition of the site's staff, but the employees resumed their strike movement on Monday, said Karim Kerkoudi, a member of the CGT. A general assembly was underway in the evening to decide on the follow-up to be given to the movement.



In a statement Monday evening, the City of Paris reported an estimated 7,300 tons of waste not collected in the streets of the capital, against 8,000 Sunday and 10,500 Friday. PS Mayor Anne Hidalgo again convened a crisis unit on Monday to centralize feedback on the ground. "Waste collection remains degraded today in a tense social context," the statement said. This Monday, 162 skips came out in all the districts and priority is given "to the treatment of the routes of the demonstration", it was added.
