The Front syndical pour la défense du travail, a coalition of Senegalese unions, has called for a 72-hour strike to demand, among other things, higher wages, payment of housing allowances and respect for union agreements, Le360.ma reports.
The organisations in the coalition share these demands but disagree over the call to strike and how it should be carried out. They are also protesting the rising cost of living, changes to the Labour Code and the lack of consultation with the authorities.
