The firefighters of Lyon and Rhône have filed a strike notice for the entire duration of the Olympics

If you are one of those who think that the Olympic Games are going to be a huge mess, you are in for a ride... The firefighters of Rhône and Lyon Métropole have just filed a strike notice for the entire duration of the events in Lyon. The firefighters demand a "real compensation". In other words, the 200 euro bonus offered is not enough, especially when they are asked to give up a week of summer vacation. "We, in the provinces, have nothing", declares a frustrated spokesperson in statements relayed by TF1info. For them, it is unthinkable that their Parisian colleagues receive a bonus of 1600 euros, while they have to settle for much less for the same efforts. ### The Olympics, a firestorm of demands Rémy Chabbouh, spokesperson for the union, points out that it is not only the firefighters of Rhône who are angry. Five departs.Statements in France, including Seine-et-Marne, Nord, and Pas-de-Calais, are in the same situation. They all demand a fair and fully funded bonus from the state, without local authorities, who, according to Chabbouh, "do not want to contribute a penny," being involved. Lyon will be buzzing with the 11 football matches of the Olympics starting this Wednesday, July 24. While firefighters threaten to strike, other sectors are not far behind. Parisian airports and even the dancers of the opening ceremony are determined to make their demands heard. A sporty and assertive summer is on the horizon! The upcoming days promise to be lively, both on the football fields and off. One thing is certain, the fire of demands does not seem ready to extinguish.
