Hundreds of garbage collection workers – garbage collectors – did not take up work at the Ecseri út site of the Capital City Maintenance Co., Ltd. (FKF Co., Ltd.). They refer to the fact that wages are very low and the technical condition of garbage trucks does not meet the requirements either. Blikk knows that the workers of the Újpalota landfill also returned to the site after learning what was going on at Ecseri út.
According to the payroll, we earn HUF 220-240 thousand net per month,
said Simon Csík, waste loader. He added: the urban legend that they earn 400-500 thousand forints per month and receive five thousand forints in tips per day is not true.

On Tuesday, the workers were surprised to find that the employer shared his future ideas with the workers in a staff meeting, said András Király, the president of the Local Industrial and Urban Economy Workers’ Union. Currently, 300 people are protesting at Ecseri út, and on Wednesday, the garbage collectors will go on strike at three more locations.
The waste haulers were also upset that the company hired inspectors, mostly retired police officers, whose job it is to follow the garbage trucks in their cars and check whether the garbage collectors get paid or not, whether the trash is registered, which is emptied or not.
The inspectors earn HUF 100-150 thousand more than the garbage collectors themselves. According to them, those who check them receive a net salary of 350-400 thousand
said the demonstrators.
The garbage collectors working at Ecseri út on Tuesdays and Fridays in the XVII. district, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, garbage is delivered in Kőbánya. As long as they are not working, the disaster management transports the waste to the respective districts, but many XVII. and VIII. the full bins were left in front of the district house.
In order for them to start working again, a wage agreement is needed. The wage claim of the loader workers is 350 thousand HUF net, and that of the drivers is 400 thousand HUF net.
We are at the bottom of life, we have problems making a living, most of us live in a sublet or have loans
– said Herman Zoltán landfill.
According to András Király, they are struggling with a labor shortage, the garbage collectors also undertake extra work on shared flights, but the remuneration is not equal to their extra work. The union leader emphasized: they expect answers to their demands from the management.
