The General Management of Senelec in Sénégal has responded to a planned 72-hour strike announced by the Unified Union of Electricity Workers (SUTELEC) from October 21st to 23rd, 2026. The company claims it learned of the strike through unofficial channels and is emphasizing the legal requirements surrounding the right to strike. Key issues driving the potential strike include the payment of the 2025 Annual Profit Bonus (PRAB 2025), the AKILEE contract, and a project regarding the company's restructuring. Senelec asserts it has not received a formal strike notice, citing the Labor Code’s requirement of a 30-day pre-notice period for collective action without conciliation. Concerning the PRAB 2025, a conciliation process is already underway with the Directorate General of Labor and Social Security, having resulted in a signed agreement on September 1st, 2026. Management expresses willingness to continue dialogue on the AKILEE contract and restructuring, while urging employees to remain calm and maintain public service continuity.
