“Come, come! 500 positions available in the city of Lyon, there is something for everyone! shouts a speaker on the Place de la Comédie. The municipal agents of Ville de Lyon, on strike this Tuesday, organized a real job-dating in order to compensate for the lack of staff, even creating a QR code so that candidates can send CV and cover letter by email.
“The city can’t recruit so we do it for them, exasperated Sébastien Douillet, general secretary of the CGT. In all sectors of the public service, in the administration, in the municipal police, among the maintenance workers, absolutely everywhere, we are missing people”. A lack which, according to him, is not new: “In 2021, every day there were 500 vacant positions. »
Salaries too low?
According to the person concerned, the city is sorely lacking in attractiveness. “In category C, the agent will spend 13 years paid at the minimum wage without any possible increase. And in Lyon, we do not live properly with a minimum wage, ”he underlines.
Last September, the municipality had released an envelope of 7 million euros but the head of the CGT denounces its use: “It is the department heads who have benefited from it, the small hands behind have had almost nothing”.
At the end of the day, the CGT agents will collect all the applications received and will request an appointment with the mayor in order to submit them.
