A national unlimited strike in perspective
El Khabar, 5 January 2008
The coordination of unaffiliated trade unions will convene tomorrow a national meeting to finalize the preparations for the strike scheduled on January 15; the strike notice will be signed by each trade union and filled out by Monday. Unaffiliated public service trade unions spokesman Meziane Meriane told El Khabar that the parties have not received yet any invitation to negotiations from the concerned sectors. In this connexion the spokesman of the trade unions unveiled a meeting to gather tomorrow higher education, permanent researchers, assistant professors, professors of medical sciences, private practitioners of public health, vocational training teachers, technical secondary teachers, as well as veterinarians in the framework of preparations to the upcoming strike. In this regard, the national trade union of education employees called president Bouteflika to catch up the “injustice” consecrated in the new salary scale announcing that it will join the striker unions. However, the national coordination of higher education and scientific research refused to join the strike and considered it a time waste.
