The spontaneous strike movement started yesterday by TEC Liège-Verviers staff continues this Friday. The agents protest against an increase in attacks. A staff meeting is scheduled for this morning at 9 a.m. to assess the situation.
The strike, launched Thursday morning in reaction to assaults suffered by three drivers the day before, again impacts the bus network this Friday. No vehicle has left The deposits of Robermont, Rocourt, Omal, Wanze, Verlaine, Bassenge and Warzée This morning.
However, a partial recovery has been noted, especially in The deposits of Jemeppe and Oreyeaccording to the TEC. Despite everything, the full return of services remains uncertain. “”We do not have, at present, an hour of full recovery of services“, Specifies management on its website.
A resurgence of attacks
The strike movement finds its source in a significant increase in violence against network staff. Since last September, no less than 40 assaults have been identified, some of great violence. Last Sunday, a protective cabin was even destroyed with punches.
Despite the doubling of the workforce of control agents since January 1ᵉʳ, the unions believe that these measures remain insufficient. They demand an additional strengthening of the control teams to guarantee the security of the staff.
In a press release, the TEC expressed its support for its agents while regretting the unmanned nature of this social movement. “”The management regrets the unreated nature of this movement as well as its pursuit despite constructive discussions yesterday but includes the reason which generated it“, can we read on their site.
