The labor union is calling a general strike on fuel transport in late November

UGTT on Monday 2 November 2026 approved a general sectoral strike in the fuel transport sector covering all institutions of the sector in various parts of the Republic on 23rd, 24th and 25th November 2026. This move was issued by the private sector section of the hardline trade union organization with the aim of lobbying to settle outstanding demands.

A strike warning telegram directed by the Federation to the official bodies made clear that the stoppage would be comprehensive and complete for 3 consecutive days in the other companies and institutions concerned. The supervisors demand immediate and unconditional implementation of all the provisions contained in agreements signed with the overlapping parties.

Trade union structures have confirmed that this ascension decision comes against the backdrop of what they describe as a delayed continuation and disregard for workers' professional and social rights. Organization officials stressed that failure to activate the commitments led to a significant disruption in the wage gains made, forcing the trend towards the option of a general strike after the available dialogue channels were exhausted.

The origin of this labour dispute lies in the non-application of the minutes of the official agreement signed on 2 May 2019 between workers' representatives, professional and government parties.

The organisation sent an alert telegram to the Ministers of Social Affairs, Industry, Internal Affairs, Trade and Transport as well as the professional bodies supervising the sector. The Federation called on the relevant authorities to intervene promptly and conduct negotiations to find effective solutions and settle the submitted files ahead of schedule in order to avoid the strike and supply interruption.
