About
Monastir, a city in Tunisia, is the location for the ongoing elective congress of the UGTT (Union Générale Tunisienne du Travail), Tunisia's powerful labor union. The congress, spanning three days until March 27th, focuses on electing a new leader and executive board. Over 600 participants are attending. This event is newsworthy because the UGTT has been weakened by internal divisions and a lack of social dialogue with the government. The congress aims to revitalize the union and restore its political influence. With 92 candidates vying for leadership positions, the outcome of this election is crucial for the future direction and relevance of the UGTT in Tunisian politics and society.
