Three union chambers working in the international merchandise transport field of the Tunisian Union for Industry, Commerce and Handicrafts (Tunisian employers’ organisation) threatened to stop working on September 6, 7 and 8, 2018 in all the country and to withdraw from the obligation to implement the joint-sectoral agreement in case of no intervention from the authorities to settle their problems, before the 27th of August.
The National Union Chambers: the "International Land Transport", the "Third Party Transport" and the "Transport of Dangerous Substances", considered in a joint communiqué that the disregard by the various ministries regarding their demands from 18 July 2018 until now is "not logic, in addition to the marginalization of the transport sector in favor of others."
The three chambers protest against the growth of the parallel sector without any interference from the state to impose control and the enactment of measures of amendment, despite the previous commitment with the ministries of trade, transport and social affairs to control the violators, according to the communiqué.
Moreover, they revealed “the non-implementation of the ministerial decision on the minimum and maximum tariffs, which stipulated the granting of new wage increases ,as well as, the inefficiency of the executive procedures as they are not respected by shippers, especially the public ones, pointing to the increasing pressures in the sector and the increase in all the necessary elements, especially in hydrocarbons, which witnessed three successive increases in 60 months.
