| 2011-02-14 |
| [Ennahar] Three unions among the most important of Mauritania organized on Saturday in Nouakchott a march followed by a rally to demand the government pay for improvements and the opening of negotiations between social partners. The three unions had deposited with the government and management, January 19, a platform of demands including higher wages, the abolition of tax on wages and improvement of social security system. "We remain mobilized until the opening of these negotiations," warned the president of the General Confederation of Mauritanian Workers (CGTM), Abdallahi Ould Mohamed, alias Nahah. The union has warned the authorities against "negative blockages and stubbornness in the face of social demands which the Tunisian and Egyptian authorities have harvested the bitter fruits." |
