maghrebutch:URGENTWOMEN AND MEN ON STRIKE FOR 1 MONTH NEED YOUR HELPPOTCOMMUN LINK : https://www.lepotcommun.fr/pot/smk9h0kl DONATE HERE In the train stations of the North of Paris, the women and men employed ONET* have been on strike for one month to protest against the awful working conditions they have to endure, and the ridiculous amount of money given to them to eat each day at their workplace (1,90€, that they want to raise up to 4€). They are in charge of cleaning up the train stations in Paris and its suburbs — most of them have worked as cleaning agents in the train stations for more than 20 years, and this is their first strike. These people are mostly immigrant women, they’re not white, most of them have families and kids to support, and they will not be paid anything for the month they spent on strike. Their situations are already extremely precarious and not getting one full month of salary will have disastrous consequences for their lives and the lives of the people relying on their salaries. They set up a « pot commun », which is a french crowdfunding website that allows you to donate to them to support them and their families. Last Friday (01/12/2017), they suffered police repression in one of those trains stations and we now fear that because of the police violence they won’t be able to hold on for much longer, on what has already been a very long strike. Not only are they risking their employer not to accept their demands, they are also likely to lose their jobs afterwards. This situation is absolutely critical and this is why i’m begging you to donate anything you can, or reblog and share this if you cannot donate.

If you live in France you can send a check to the Syndicat Sud Rail de Paris Nord or come directly to give some cash to the strikers in the Saint Denis train station if you live in this area.

Subcontracting allows them to not pay their agents the salary that would be due to someone working in a public service. ONET, a subcontracting company known for its violence against women and lack of ethics (they have already made headlines when a number of women working for them accused their superiors of sexual harassment), is the one in charge of cleaning SNCF’s train stations. pics credit: Martin NodaThis post was written with the help of @movingtospacesoon -- source link
