Senegal

Workers arrived at the factory gates this morning to find this notice:

"Management informs the entire staff, both permanent and contract staff that, following the ilegal strike action which paralysed the company, a collective dismissal has been decided upon. Dismissal letters have been passed to human resources."

Staff, backed by the unions claim that the company is too influenced by Royal Air Maroc (the majority shareholder with 51%, with 49% held by Senegal) and that their salaries are much lower than those of workers at equivalent airlines.
