On Tuesday, there were numerous traffic delays on Réunion Island (974) following a call for industrial action by the national union of professional firefighters and administrative and technical staff. Firefighters on the island have therefore begun strike action. They are demanding:
  • An increase in staffing levels at emergency centres,
  • Replacing officers who are retiring,
  • The end of the compulsory change of post required to be promoted to the next rank,
  • Faster repairs to emergency vehicles,
  • Strengthening the human resources team,
  • Changes to on-call and call-out allowances,
  • The appointment of a deputy departmental director following the vacancy notice published by the DGSC.
The fire brigade will still come out if you call them on "18".
