A planned three-day strike at Tunisian banks, scheduled for June 23-25, 2026, is poised to disrupt pension payments for retirees. The strike is being organized amidst differing approaches between the Tunisian Banking Confederation (CBF) and the Tunisian General Labour Union (UGTT), despite both entities supporting the industrial action. Kapitalis reports that the strike’s timing will directly impact the disbursement of pensions, leaving retirees without access to funds during that period. While both organizations agree on the need for a strike, their strategies and specific demands appear to be diverging. Further details regarding the specific grievances driving the strike have not been released. The potential for widespread financial hardship among pensioners is a key concern as the strike date approaches.
