This is a usual occurrence in Saint-Martin-d’Hères. A few days after D-Day, Mayor David Queiros brings together the different teaching teams (but also the parents of students) to discuss with them the highlights of the start of the school year and, if necessary, to collect some complaints. This year, no exception to the rule with a meeting called Thursday evening in the municipal council room, in the presence of several elected officials (including Kristof Domenech, councilor responsible for school affairs) and Nathalie Penin, education inspector. national. Except that said meeting, traditionally short, lasted somewhat…
Strike ? “The motive is excessive”
It was not the mayor’s introductory remarks (numbers (down) at 2,600 students; maintenance of solidarity pricing in school restaurants despite the inflationary context and the cost of energy prices; work in schools) which took time but the questions surrounding the strike announced in after-school activities, precisely during the lunch break starting this Monday. Should we see in this a lack of consideration from the City towards its agents, will ask a father, tired of the “repeated” strike movements of last year and doubtful about the absence of minimum service in the municipality? “These actions were rather due to national actions linked to pension reform, not to the community itself,” said Laurent Zorman, deputy general director of the City. This was without counting the mayor who got to the heart of the matter: “The minimum service, philosophically, I do not approve. Replacing qualified people with unqualified people, no! » And the strike announced from this Monday? “Striking is a right but here, I find the reason excessive. The agents here do not have bad working conditions. »
After a (short) interlude devoted to “not enough” swimming pool slots as well as “not very varied” evening after-school activities and parents inclined to make them more cultural, the debate around after-school activities resumed. With a problem raised by a director: “This Monday, will the children be able to be welcomed if they bring their meals? And what to do with children who will still stay in school? Who is responsible for this? » Response from the City: “Parents have been informed of the movement and they will have to pick up their children. Of course, we will try to find a solution if the case arises. A procedure exists. The principals are responsible for the children only during school time.”
