The members of the UGTT national administrative committee, meeting on Monday in Hammamet, considered that the decree N°30-2022 on the creation of an advisory committee is not the result of prior consultation or agreement and does not meet the national aspirations, reports TAP news agency. They reaffirmed commitment to national dialogue as the only way out of the current crisis, UGTT spokesperson Sami Tahri was quoted by TAP as saying. The Union also approved a decision to hold a general strike in both the public and the civil service sectors, whose date will be set by the executive board. The decision was made in response to a set of requests issued by the public sector and civil service groups. More particularly, they called for a general strike to “defend workers’ economic and social rights,” the union said.
