Tunisia: Personnel of Oil Company OMV in strike for 3 days starting from tomorrow
The main basic unions of the oil company OMV, affiliates of the UGTT (Tunisian General Labour Union) have announced this Tuesday the starting of a three-day strike on June 3rd, 4th and 5th, 2020, with a stop in production on the sites of Tunis, Gabes and Tataouine.
In a release communicated to Tunisie Numérique, the unions have stated that “ this decision was made following the failure of a reconciliation session at the General Work Inspection in Tunis, not having taken into account the warning notice for the strike issued by the UGTT for the 3rd, 4th and 5th June 2020, facing the managing board’s rejective attitude towards the reintegration of workers within their former positions.”
The release specified:“ we have decided the implementation of a strike in all the sites in Tunis, Gabes and Tatatouine.”
The unions have condemned “ the threatening actions taken by the managing director towards senior officers and agents, in addition to his absence in the reconciliation session.”
The unions hold accountable the management section of the company for the deterioration of the social climate.
