A banner with text in Arabic reading ''Unity among trade unionists and independence in their choices'' is displayed during a rally organized outside the headquarters of the Tunisian General Labour Union (French: UGTT) ahead of a march toward the mausoleum of union leader Farhat Hached in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 4, 2025, marking the 73rd anniversary of his assassination. The commemoration escalates into a protest against President Kais Saied's economic and social policies. Trade unionists demand the protection of union rights and freedoms, as well as the resumption of social dialogue and salary negotiations. The UGTT denounces that the planned salary increases in the private and public sectors, as outlined in the 2026 Finance Bill, will be implemented without any social dialogue with the government. The confrontation between the UGTT and President Kais Saied's government reflects a broader political crisis that unfolds since 2021, raising concerns among trade unions and civil society actors. The UGTT warns of a potential general strike.
