Usually, on avenue de l’Épi d’Or in Villejuif, dump trucks only have to take the ramp to dump their cargo into a gigantic metal funnel.
But impossible to reach the “compactor” of the waste reception center this Thursday: a mountain of trash bags blocked access to the machine which, in any case, is broken down.
Between clutter and “rats”, the situation has become untenable for municipal officials assigned to the maintenance of outdoor spaces. About fifteen of them, considering themselves to be faced with a “serious and imminent danger”, decided to exercise their right of withdrawal.
“The compactor has been dysfunctional for four weeks, plague a roadmender. The bins and bulky items collected in the city continue to arrive and the site is completely saturated. “
Supported by representatives of the CGT from the territorial members of the Health and Safety Committee (CHSCT), the employees listed their grievances to a delegation of service managers on Thursday morning.
A “legitimate alert” in the eyes of the municipality (Citizen Union). At the beginning of the afternoon, she announced that “the compactor is being repaired”, and that a new machine “ordered in January” would be delivered within eight weeks.
