The General Federation of Yemeni Trade Unions issued a statement directed to its unions throughout the country, in which it provided a comprehensive diagnosis about the situation in Yemen, highlighting the complexities of the ongoing war on the entire Yemeni people and their working class.
The text of the statement called on all trade unions to assume their responsibility in performing their national role and rallying its noble message, regardless of the weight of the challenges and obstacles, in order to retrieve Yemen from the hands of those who tamper with its future and the capabilities of its people.
Describing the labor situation in the country, the statement said that the union recorded dozens of violations against workers and employees on a daily basis, including wages deprivation, delays in their payment, arbitrary dismissal, and suppression of any labor protest using intimidation and threats.
As a conclusion of its statement, the Union called for continuing the struggle to ensure the workers’ right to receive their wages and to work with all national forces in order to stop the bleeding of the ongoing war and to stand in front of everything that would tear apart the social fabric in Yemen, whether is it regional or sectarian. The statement also mentioned the full support of the Federation to tackle corruption.
