Mauritania: ‘Mauritania Logistics’ Tramples on the Labor Code

In a clear violation of articles 36 and 37 of the Mauritanian Labor Code, the management of the “Mauritania Logistics” company notified labor inspectors of a decision to refer 40 of its workers to technical unemployment.

 

The company’s basic unions issued a statement confirming that the decision was null and void because it lost any legal basis and violated the labor code. The unions considered that the justifications for the decision are weak because the company does not suffer from any serious economic difficulties or technical restrictions that hinder its work, which are the basic conditions set by the Labor Code as a condition for referral to technical unemployment.

 

Workers stressed that “this decision and its negative consequences will be a catastrophe by any measure that will exacerbate the situation of workers and their families in these exceptional circumstances”.

 

Workers’ representatives called on the company’s management to reverse its decision to refer 40 workers to technical unemployment.
