Tunisians reject labor union calls for strike

Many Tunisian people voiced dismay at the Tunisian General Labor Union’s (UGTT) calls for a nationwide public sector strike on June 16.

They said that it would lead to great losses to the country and cause disruptions to various services and business operations, adding that it is not the appropriate time for striking.

Supporters of the 25 July movement called on citizens not to join in the public strike.
