Extra Crew in Action: Cleaning Up Dortmund After Labor Action: Reinforced Teams for Waste Disposal in Dortmund
- Post-strike cleanup: Additional workforce for waste removal in Dortmund
Here's the scoop!
After the recent labor actions, Entsorgung Dortmund GmbH (EDG) has picked up the pace - with more hands on deck than usual due to the mountain of waste piling up. Since the wee hours of the morning, employees have been scouring the streets, particularly in the Dortmund city center and pedestrian zones, emptying the trash bins, as EDG announced on its website. "The night shift got a boost with additional personnel," it said.
The primary focus of the cleanup is the city center and the Wall. From Monday, the street cleaning troop is back on the job citywide. According to EDG, they'll have some extra muscles to help out - with special teams joining the fray. But it might take a few days before the city gleams again. Initially broken by WDR.
In the ongoing wage dispute with the federal government and municipalities, the labor union Verdi has persistently demanded labor actions in various sectors of public service for the past few days.
Now, for some context...
While recent search results don't offer concrete information about the current standing of overtime shifts in Dortmund's waste disposal sector following labor actions, they do shed light on labor actions in other sectors and locations:
- Airport Labor Actions: There was a one-day labor action at 13 German airports, including Dortmund Airport, due to wage disputes involving public-sector employees and ground staff. This action impacted flight operations but doesn't necessarily correlate directly with waste disposal[2][3].
- Berlin's Waste Disposal Labor Action: In Berlin, the week-long labor action by the city's cleaning service (BSR) has concluded, and waste disposal has resumed[3]. Unfortunately, there's no information about similar labor actions or their impact on waste disposal in Dortmund.
For the latest updates on Dortmund's waste disposal sector, it might be best to tune into local news sources or contact the city's waste management department directly.
- In light of the ongoing labor dispute, Entsorgung Dortmund GmbH (EDG) has implemented a community policy to address the backlog of waste, introducing additional personnel for the night shift to focus on the city center and pedestrian zones.
- As part of their vocational training program, EDG has also deployed special teams to assist with street cleaning efforts, aiming to restore the city's cleanliness within a few days.
- While information on overtime shifts in Dortmund's waste disposal sector after labor actions is not readily available, it's worth noting that similar labor actions have taken place at other airports, such as Berlin, where waste disposal services have resumed post-strike.
