Committed to the dialogue for a peaceful resolution of the ATA dispute, it remains, as the Federation of Employers and Industrialists (OEB) states in its statement, adding at the same time that “for obvious reasons, the period before the assumption of duties of the new Government is not lends itself to productive negotiation on the merits”.

In a circular to its members, the OEB states that “despite its appeals to avoid dynamic mobilizations and to resume substantive negotiations immediately after the formation of the new Government”, the trade unions have decided to hold a three-hour strike next Thursday 26/1/2023 between the hours 12.00 noon and 3.00 pm

Its goal, as stated by OEB, “is through good faith negotiations on the basis of the Transitional Agreement of July 2017, to agree with the trade unions a more modern, efficient and holistic system based on the best European practices”.

Until the completion of the dialogue and the conclusion of a new, mutually acceptable arrangement between the Social Partners at the national level, OEB calls on its members to avoid unilateral agreements/arrangements that may be promoted by the local Trade Unions that represent their staff.< /p>

Also, the OEB calls on all businesses and organizations that implement ATA to pay their staff who are entitled to it according to their terms of employment, 50% of the CPI increase which amounts to 4.36%.

< p>Finally, in its circular to its members, the OEB, in view of the three-hour strike of the unions, mentions practical clarifications to questions about the management of issues that may arise from the adoption of strike measures.

It states among other things, that the participation of any worker in the strike is a Constitutionally guaranteed right and inherent to the, also Constitutional, right to freely organize and adds that “according to a fixed principle of labor law, jurisprudence and the labor relations system, the hours/days absence from work due to a strike is without pay for the striking worker”.

It also states that non-participation of any worker in the strike is also Constitutionally protected by his burning as a negative manifestation of his Constitutional right to freely associate.
