The Secretary-General of the Tunisian General Labour Union (French: UGTT), Noureddine Taboubi, leads a march organized by the UGTT heading towards the mausoleum of union leader Farhat Hached in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 4, 2025, to mark 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, are 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.
