"Tunisian garment workers strike over dismissals of union leaders", May 18th 2020 

Workers at Gartex in Tunisia went on strike for two days in May, as attempts to solve a wide range of labour issues have been stonewalled by the employer for more than two years.

Due to poor health and safety in the workplace, the union requested a visit from the medical labour inspection in June last year. Various health and safety violations were confirmed and a long list of recommendations was issued.
