In Chad, the public sector will slow down from Tuesday, January 7. Tired of awaiting the reinstatement of their premiums and indemnities cut for three years, the workers decided to go on strike, after fruitless negotiations with the government.
After final negotiations, this Monday, January 6 at the end of the day, during which the government tried to defuse the slogan of strike, the workers indicate that they will nonetheless strike down Tuesday morning by changing tactics every three days.
“ If we are going on strike for three days this week, we have to think about it. Should this strike be accompanied by a sit-in? Will it be accompanied by the march? ... and so on so that we do not do all things at once, "suggests Barka Michel, spokesperson for the trade union protest platform .
The government - which points to the illegality of the movement - deplores the attitude of the unions who decide to stop work while negotiations continue.
Last Friday and this Monday, the government proposed a gradual reinstatement of up to 15% of the premiums and indemnities cut. " Very few, " replied the workers, who decided in this way to put the government under pressure.
