The General Management of Algeria Post has filed a complaint with the courts to break the surprise strike by employees of Algeria Post, announced this Saturday. Remember that this strike was not preceded by a notification, as stipulated by law. It should also be noted that this protest movement took place at the same time as the payment of unemployment benefit. As a result, the general management of Algérie Poste was quick to react.
And this, by filing a complaint with the courts, as mentioned above. Indeed, this is what the generalist Arabic-language daily reports Ennahar. By starting this strike, the principals concerned did not set the date for the end of the said strike. So it will be unlimited.
Something that can hinder the interests of all Algerian citizens who have massively denounced this act. Especially on social networks. Moreover, even the Algerian Association for the Protection and Guidance of Consumers and their Environment (APOCE) was of the same opinion.
Here are the demands of the Algeria Post strikers
Through this protest movement, the employees of Algérie Poste want to claim a certain number of rights. In particular, an increase in wages, the individual and collective remuneration allowance and the annual remuneration bonus. We should also mention the agreement of two days off per week for each employee. As well as the payment of the Covid-19 bonus.
All of the employees who have been on strike since Saturday January 28, 2023 have demanded freedom of association. Indeed, the strikers aspire to be able to build a trade union movement. Since it is a right guaranteed by the Algerian constitution.
Algérie Poste strike: the general manager of Algérie Poste gives more details
According to Louai Zaidi, the general manager of Algérie Poste, the work stoppage recorded at the level of the offices of Algérie Poste is not a strike. According to him, this sudden stop does not correspond to the right to strike which is regulated. The same official said that the parties who pushed the employees of Algérie Poste to this act will be exposed to legal proceedings. Especially since this act coincided with the payment of unemployment benefit. In the same vein, Zaidi indicated that the response rate to this strike was estimated at 15%.
