Fuel Transport Companies Could Face Three-Day Shutdown in November
Fuel transport companies in Tunisia may be brought to a standstill for three days in November. The private sector department of the General Tunisian Union of Labor (UGTT) announced on Monday, November 2, the filing of a sectoral strike notice for November 23, 24, and 25. The action will affect all establishments within the sector across the entire national territory.
The union cites the failure to honor the agreement signed on May 2, 2019, as the primary driver behind this mobilization, demanding its full implementation. According to the UGTT, the non-compliance with the agreement’s terms has undermined the professional and social rights of employees. Consequently, the union is calling for the immediate enforcement of all commitments outlined in the accord.
Furthermore, in its official notice, the UGTT invokes Articles 376 bis and 376 ter of the Labor Code to urge the competent authorities to intervene promptly to resolve the dispute. It also references Article 377 and subsequent provisions, aiming to facilitate a settlement of the conflict before the scheduled strike date.
