Mauritanian workers mount 3-day general strike

2010-03-16

Four Mauritanian labor unions began a three-day general strike on Monday (March 15th). The Union of Mauritanian Workers (UTM), the General Confederation of Mauritanian Workers (CGTM), the National Confederation of Workers of Mauritania (CNTM) and the Free Confederation of Mauritanian Workers (CLTM) are protesting what they claim is the "obstinate refusal' of the government to open negotiations regarding workers' living conditions and a requested hike in transport and housing allowances. CGTM and CNTM officials claimed 80% of workers complied with the strike during the first day, PANA reported.
