UTICA condemns general strike in Sfax

The Tunisian Union of Industry, Trade and Handicrafts (UTICA) expressed, in a press release yesterday, its bewilderment by the call for a general strike in the private sector, launched by the regional UGTT of Sfax.

UTICA underscored its attachment to defending the interests of production companies and protecting, with all legal and legitimate means, the right to freedom of work which should be enshrined in the Tunisian constitution. UTICA has, further, warned against the negative consequences that salary increases could have, stressing that these unstudied and “irresponsible” increases have led, during the last ten years, to the hastening of acute inflation, the decline of the competitiveness of companies, external indebtedness and the imbalance of public finances. This has contributed to the decline of Tunisia’s sovereign rating from B3 to Caa1, calling for the preservation of industrial units against smuggling, anarchic importation and parallel trade.
