On behalf of the ISS strikers, the Cleaning Union signed a protocol with management.
On strike since October 18, 2009, the workers were confronted with management’s refusal to acknowledge them and negotiate. |
Despite several actions during the holiday season – the blockages of the company’s headquarters on rue Ordener and of the management of the 16th district’s cleaning branch, and the occupation of the Hotel Campanile, where the Central labor-management committee was meeting December 23 - management held its ground.The strikers’ determination and solidarity, and especially the numerous phone calls, paid off.
January 12, when the headquarters was being blocked once again, the management agreed to negotiate. In the agreement, the company commits itself to provide all the documents required for filing work permit applications to support these applications at the prefectures, and to create a follow-up committee along with the union. Lastly, each worker will be reinstated as soon as the provisional permit is received. This is a first victory, but the struggle goes on to obtain a positive response from the prefectures.
The Cleaning Union wishes here to thank all those (unions and individuals) who supported this struggle by being there on the picket line and through their various actions as well as their financial support.
This support has allowed us, to date, to give 4319 euros (the total amount received) to the ISS and EFFI services strikers.
All EFFI employees for whom an application was submitted to the prefecture were given a 3-month receipt authorizing them to work during this period, and they went back to work.
The struggle continues for the Cleaning Union.
