It is one of the largest high schools in Île-de-France. Friday, October 1, the maintenance officers of the Voillaume high school in Aulnay-sous-Bois, which hosts some 2,400 students, went on strike to demand the reinforcement of their numbers, believing that they could no longer do their job properly. . "Some rooms had not been cleaned since the start of the school year despite the health protocol", describes an agent, who will be received this Tuesday with colleagues at the regional council of Ile-de-France - the community in charge of high schools - to request the hiring of contract workers within the establishment.
“Thanks to the strike movement, we won our case.
The region has sent us replacements, except that they are temporary workers.
Their contracts only last a week.
Everything can therefore stop overnight.
And each time, we will have to train the new arrivals ourselves, ”regrets the agent.
"Many absent at the same time in the establishment"
“In addition, temporary workers do not have the same hourly contract as contract workers and permanent agents.
They work 35 hours a week against 40 hours for the incumbents, ”adds a teacher supporting the movement, who fears that the region has agreed to hire temporary workers only to“ calm things down ”after the strike.
For its part, the regional council recalls that there have been "many staff absent at the same time in the establishment" since the start of the school year, which may have caused difficulties.
“Using temporary workers has precisely enabled us to replace staff more quickly.
Whereas if we had tried to recruit contract workers, we might not even have had any candidates.
