The National Union Chamber of Port Services in Tunisia announced on April 3 that they have planned a strike from 16 to 18 of April. In the meantime, the Union urged their affiliates to observe the work stoppage during this period.
Specifically, the Union decided on the strike to express their complaints on the lack of interest from the Department of Transport and the Merchant Marine and Ports Board in resolving outstanding issues and reviewing the port company records.
In the meantime, the Expanded Executive Board met to discuss all the issues relating to ships’ mooring men, ships’ watchmen and other services provided by the port authorities.
Brittania P&I advises all its members to contact their local agents and correspondents for more precise information about how this might impact their operations.
