Transport, waste: for Euro, the government went on the offensive – Liberation

On the first day of the Euro football, the social movement against labor bill crystallizes in several key areas, starting with transport and garbage collection. Faced with the strikers, the authorities are trying to minimize disruption while preserving social dialogue.



In Paris, scavengers private reinforcements

The mayor of Paris has found a parade. Despite the blocking of collection sites and waste treatment Ile-de-France for twelve days, Anne Hidalgo said this morning on BFM TV and RMC “all garbage will be collected,” before adding: “There, now. Today they are being collected. “ In addition to the fifty Thursday, thirty additional bins are mobilized to clean up any waste that are gathering in front of the Parisian buildings. Mayor Republicans VI th arrondissement, Jean-Pierre Lecoq, questioned: “My local engineer told me that there are only three skips this afternoon, so no more than yesterday. “ Whatever happens, for ” return to a normal situation, it takes a few days, “ admits Anne Hidalgo.

D ‘ where these reinforcements come, so that the strike in the largest processing center of Ile-de-France (Ivry-sur-Seine Paris XIII) is extended until 14 June? First, the City of Paris can count on non-strikers who multiply overtime. The Labour Code only prohibits an employer who wants to maintain its activities despite a strike to replace employees with temporary workers (Article L. 1251-10) or persons recruited express CSD (Article L1242-6). But it remains insufficient to ensure the collection throughout the city. So, Anne Hidalgo, who says “advocates [r] dialogue rather than methods that consist in sending chin blows to the face,” had to find a second solution without to go through requisitioning. to involve the private sector

After the major garbage strike in 1983, Jacques Chirac, then mayor of Paris, partly privatized garbage collection in the capital . Today, ten districts are managed by municipal services and the other ten are cleaned by teams from four private companies in public service delegation (Pizzorno, Derichebourg, Veolia and Urbaser). Result: since the beginning of the strike, the garbage pile up in half of the districts as territorial officials stopped work, while the other half remains clean. Hence the idea of ​​Anne Hidalgo called to the rescue already private companies under contract with the city, expanding their scope to other boroughs. “We substitution collections’ says Thomas Derichebourg, president of the homonymous group. The Paris Mayor confirms that it is provided in the public service delegation contract (DSP) power to use “these companies beyond their usual districts” if emergency. Which asks a lawyer specializing in public contracts: “It is difficult to provide in a contract, from the start of amendment of the contract. This would be likely to impact the competitive play. “

At the station, the threat of requisitions

The match France-Romania at the Stade de France, like Pillow fight compared to the standoff opposing strikers railroad on one side, the SNCF management and government on the other. The train drivers serving the Stade de France will be massively on strike this Friday night, according to the CGT railway and SUD-rail. Both unions claim that 100% of the drivers of the SNCF Paris-Southeast region (RER D) declared strike for Friday, and more than 90% on the Paris-Nord area (B and D). “It is not true, says Alain Krakovitch, director of the Transilien network. There will be conducting tonight. “ But, in anticipation, the SNCF set up special shuttle buses between the North Station and the stage from 18 hours. These trains will be added to the daily RER which usually run from one end of lines B and D. This, all confused, corresponds to a RER B every six minutes and RER D every ten minutes, according to SNCF . Is a second train compared to a normal circulation, further specifies the train.

Meanwhile, the Secretary of State for Transport, Alain Vidal, banged his fist on the table, making this Friday morning on Europe 1 “there will be no tolerance in relation to activities that would challenge the big party in which France is committed.” And the government will not renounce “any means at its disposal” in concluding:. “Whether to use requisitions [train drivers, note], do we.” The Department noted, however, with Libération there would not be requisitioned for this Friday night. But if the situation requires it, he would not hesitate to use it for the next days. The requisition is indeed a measure included in the general code of local authorities. Specifically, Article L2215-1 says “where the infringement known or predictable good order, cleanliness, tranquility and safety of the public requires and that the Prefect has no other means [...] it can [...] requisition any good or service, require any person required to operate the service or the use of that property. “ this is also the prefect fixed “the duration of the measure of requisition”. in this particular case, the railroad would be warned by a bailiff or police officer. If he refuses the requisition, he faces six months in prison and 10,000 euros fine.

Still, according Taillefait Antony, a professor at the University of Angers and law specialist function public, the application must be justified. “Or must it be considered that to carry supporters is linked to considerations of public policy, security or safety?” examines the lawyer. Moreover, in case of requisition, referrals to the judge by the agents – this is called referred parole – are common in these situations, particularly in the national enseignenement. The judge is investigating whether the continuity of public service is guaranteed on a territory. “And the decision is rather favorable to the right to strike”, says Antony Taillefait. As for sanctions, “they are often not implemented. Politically, it remains difficult to convict someone of illegal exercise the right to strike. It reminds the XIX th century and the ban on demonstrations “

Another point: Alain Vidal also protested in reaction to the ways of blockages, which held since the beginning of the movement, “there will be criminal prosecution and disciplinary proceedings.” A reminder which is not insignificant, just hours before the game. This is a way to prevent those who would block the roads tonight that the initiative will not be without consequence, we do we specify the ministry. “For there to be sanctions, we must target those involved because the sanction can be individual. Moreover, we can not be constantly in the penalty, otherwise the social dialogue becomes explosive, “, however, says Isabelle Tap, a lawyer specializing in labor law.

These intrusions on the tracks, this is what most worries Alain Krakovitch. Railway Security Officers (depending on the train), as well as police, will be placed tonight along the 4.5 kilometers between the North Station Stade de France on access to the rail network.
