The workers from Sita, the second largest private refuse collection company in France, are calling for a 3% rise backdated to January the first and a further 1% from the first of July. 180 comunes in the region will be affected as well as three of the 20 departments in Paris.*
220 workers picketed the company's head office yesterday. At the same time the Director of Sita (part of the Suez group) said that if the strike lasted for over three days then the consequences for the public would be serious.
The strike was called by a joint bargaining platform composed of seven unions ( CGT, CFDT, FO, FNCR, CGC, CFTC and the CNT).
:> In 2001 in Brighton UK there was a successful bin men's wildcat strike and occupation against Sita.
