Final Statement 3rd ATUC congress Oran / Algeria

The minimum wage in the agricultural sector will be increased by 10%. The increase, which will come into effect in September, will allow workers in the sector to receive 84.37 dirhams for a day’s work (about $8). Workers in industry, commerce, and liberal professions will benefit from a 5% increase.

After four consecutive months of protest, the Wage Structure Committee, which represents electricity workers in Sudan, has decided to lift the strike and resume work after the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum approved a new salary increase.
