Cintri on strike?
Re: Cintri on strike?
Just drove past Riverside. After the rain, all that garbage is now floating around the flooded streets, probably clogging up the drainage even more. Beautiful sight.

Shit conditions no guarantee of holiday pay and $159 a month, people would be queuing up for a job like that
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

Re: Cintri on strike?
Garbage collectors in most places get paid fairly well as it's a shitty job. The city is a mess but I support the strike. Government probably pays peanuts for the contract and Cintri is always tight as there's always more trash than what's bargained for. But yeah, makes the city look/smell even worse than it usually does...

I'm sure cintri must be on the bones of their arse with regards cashflow.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote:Garbage collectors in most places get paid fairly well as it's a shitty job.

The monthly payment for garbage collection seems to have more people not paying it as are paying it.

It's probably the other way about the contract.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Sat Oct 10, 2020 6:31 pm Garbage collectors in most places get paid fairly well as it's a shitty job.

They should put the charge back on EDC bills. And seriously they could bump it up to $5/month if they provided wheelie bins to everyone.khmerhamster wrote: ↑Sun Oct 11, 2020 8:40 pmI'm sure cintri must be on the bones of their arse with regards cashflow.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote:Garbage collectors in most places get paid fairly well as it's a shitty job.

Meanwhile it seems pretty clear Cintri is not going to get any contracts back.

Is Cintri just being an ass because it wants to be in charge of all collections?
You don't need brains to be a Boss.
When the body was first created, all the parts wanted to be Boss. The brain said, "I should be Boss because I control all of the body's responses and functions."
The feet said, "We should be Boss since we carry the brain about and get him to where he wants to go."
The hands said, "We should be the Boss because we do all the work and earn all the money."
Finally, the asshole spoke up. All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being the Boss. So, the asshole went on strike, blocked itself up and refused to work.
Within a short time, the eyes became crossed, the hands clenched, the feet twitched, the heart and lungs began to panic, and the brain fevered. Eventually, they all decided that the asshole should be the Boss, so the motion was passed. All the other parts did all the work while the Boss just sat and passed out the shit!
Moral Of The Story: You don't need a brain to be a Boss----any asshole will do.

Re: Cintri on strike?
I highly doubt it. The city's population has doubled in ten years. Dangkor was opened in 2009 after Stung Menchey was full and was estimated to last 20+ years. It's currently completely full as far as I know, so they're relocating some stuff to Kandal. It's a bit hard to make bids on stuff like that when population growth and the resulting trash production is exponential, with zero sorting and tons of it plastic waste. Even the experts had it wrong, so wouldn't surprise me one bit that they're not exactly making a ton of money. Combine that with a whole lot of people not paying their bill because "fuck it, they won't know", and you've got a losing situation.orussey98 wrote:It's probably the other way about the contract.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Sat Oct 10, 2020 6:31 pm Garbage collectors in most places get paid fairly well as it's a shitty job.

The company was started way back by a mixed Canadian/Khmer couple if I remember correctly, but once set up was stolen from under them by some local tycoon. They're now doing biomass stuff in Vietnam instead.

Some Sangkats have deployed their own local rubbish collectors. it's a pity sight/. They clean up a spot today, there's another pile tomorrow.AndyKK wrote: ↑Sat Oct 10, 2020 10:29 am I thought the government had taken over the waste collection's in effort to make the task more efficient? I was in the riverside area the other day, it was difficult to find a restaurant without festering piles of rotting waste nearby, not good conditions to eat and enjoy. On my journey over there I have noticed some bin truck's working and some motos and trailers too.
