Tunisian municipal workers, represented by the UGTT-affiliated General Federation of Municipal Agents, have initiated a two-day sector-wide strike starting August 1st, 2026. The strike action protests the failure of authorities to implement previously agreed-upon accords. Workers are also demonstrating against deteriorating working conditions and a recent increase in fatal workplace accidents. They cite a breakdown in social dialogue as a key factor driving the decision. The federation is seeking immediate attention to these concerns and a renewed commitment to worker safety and rights. This strike threatens disruption to municipal services across Tunisia. Business News first reported the developing situation.
