Algeria: The resumption of the protests in the doctors, airlines and educational institutions’ administrators’ sectors

The protests of the doctors living in Algeria returned to the forefront, with the protest they carried out last Sunday in the capital, condemning the government's non-implementation of their previous promises on meeting their professional and social demands in exchange for stopping their protests carried out during the past months.

The independent coordination of resident doctors has accused the Ministry of Health of procrastination and non-commitment to its former promises, since those involved have not been invited to the dialogue table, since the coordination’s decision to freeze its strike, in compliance with the government's call for dialogue.

The return of resident doctors to protests and strikes came to exacerbate the difficulties of social escalation on the government. The so-called "independent trade union bloc" threatens to escalate the tone in the coming days because of the government’s non-reviewing of the protestors’ requirements, such as the retirement age, purchasing power and labor law.

The social protests are expected to be extended to reach the airline company because of the administration's confusion in dealing with the employees and workers of the company, who have threatened to paralyze the company’s activities more than once. The management's approach is to find a middle way between the Tunisian and French airlines’ salaries to launch a new salaries’ list in the company. This angered the active unions, because of what they called " the non-referral to the companies listed as modals to solve the salaries’ crisis.”

Moreover, the administrators of educational institutions’ syndicate promised to paralyze the sector from the first day of school, and decided to provide services, such as the sale of textbooks and the distribution of annual grants to the children of needy families, and the absence from the registration.
