Warning strikes at Remondis: garbage disposal stands still - problems until Christmas!

In Schleswig-Holstein, the garbage disposal and disposal are still standing out due to a current tariff conflict. After the first warning strike day at Remondis, which took place yesterday, the employees at the Schleswig, Melsdorf and Lübeck locations laid down their work. Like euwid recycling , around 60 to 70 percent of the employees took part, which led to considerable delays in the affected circles. The ver.di union has already announced other warning strikes, whereby the removal of residual and organic waste is also affected, which means that many garbage cans will not be emptied in the next few days.

The union calls for a wage increase of 8.5 percent and a contribution of 2.25 euros per hour for around 500 employees in the waste disposal industry. These demands result from a collective bargaining conflict with the Logistics Association of Schleswig-Holstein. According to the ver.di negotiator Catrin Haas, no offers from the company were presented in two previous negotiating rounds, which further increases the willingness to strike. The time of the next negotiations is scheduled for January 20, and until then, persistent disorders in the garbage disposal can be expected.

massive problems with waste disposal

as the NDR , the waste bins have not been emptied in the entire area of ​​responsibility, and the location is until Stay tense in the Christmas days. Residents are asked to provide their waste until the next regular removal, whereby several quantities can be added in bags. Especially in the districts of Schleswig-Flensburg, Rendsburg-Eckernförde and Plön, the effects are serious, since not only regular disposal, but the bulky waste removal is also impaired.

ver.di targets the company profits and criticizes that disposal fees increase at the expense of the employees who only receive a wage just above the minimum wage. "It cannot be that Remondis deserves a golden nose on the disposal fees while the employees are underpins," emphasizes Haas. The situation remains tense, and the union is ready to intensify the strikes if the negotiation results should not change.
