In a statement made to the Tunisian news agency TAP on the occasion of Labor Day, Mohamed Ali Guiza, Secretary General of the General Tunisian Confederation of Labor (CGTT), emphasized the need for a comprehensive review of the labor code to address the evolving nature of work, put an end to precarious employment, ensure professional stability, and adapt to new forms of employment, including digital platforms.
Protecting Workers' Rights and Dignity
Guiza highlighted the importance of revising collective agreements to ensure effective protection of workers' rights and preserve their dignity. He stressed that any social reform remains lacking in credibility as long as a dialogue based on respect for pluralism and recognition of all social and trade union forces is not engaged, free from exclusion or monopoly.
