Sit-ins and labour movements in Sfax

Workers of “Les Trois Chemins” company made a sit-in in the three locations based in Sidi Mansour, Menzel Chaker road, and Taniour road, to protest against the owner attempt to shut it down. After these movements, the owner of the corporation promised to restart the normal activity after making assessment to change the company manager.
Workers of the Hotel Company of the Cities Centre made a sit-in in front of the establishment in Achouhada Avenue on last Sunday (31rst of May) to demur at the sudden closing of the company by its general president director and to protest against its privatization.
In another side, Hedi Chaker university hospital in Sfax witnessed successive labour movements to protest against attempts of the ministry to disregard their demands of the rehabilitation of the hospital and supplying it with a university laboratory. The Health’s ministry adopted a draft to make a multidisciplinary laboratory or a general laboratory of medical biology which public health officers considered unresponsive to the terms of university hospital.
The administration attempted to exercise the policy of “fait accompli” by employing “volunteers” to activate the laboratory. A sit-in was held in the hospital on Monday the first of June to resist this resolution.
