The Tunisian phosphate company, CPG, is bracing for a potential three-day strike in early September, announced by the General Federation of Mines, affiliated with the powerful UGTT labor union. The strike notice, issued on August 17, 2026, threatens disruption across all CPG work sites. This action signals escalating social tensions within the company, a key player in Tunisia’s economy. The UGTT is using the strike threat to pressure CPG management regarding unspecified grievances. The planned strike is scheduled to begin on September 1st and conclude on September 3rd. Further details regarding the specific demands leading to the strike notice have not yet been released. This development could significantly impact phosphate production and exports.
