The UGTT called for the resumption of negotiation sessions in the coming days, reaffirming its attachment to sectoral negotiations, both on financial and regulatory aspects, in order to do workers justice and to improve their purchasing power.
She also expressed her support for the protest movement for young residents residents, and condemned the continuation of the war waged by the Zéméricaine alliance against the Palestinian people, with the complicity of certain official Arab regimes, calling for the cessation of massacres and the fight against policies of forced displacement
