Grève des travailleurs : Le FDR réclame l’ouverture d’un dialogue social
The Front for the Defense of Democracy and the Republic (FDR) demands the immediate opening of a structured social dialogue, respect for commitments made to the unions and an end to coercive measures against striking workers.
In a statement dated October 21, 2026, the FDR formulated these demands in the face of persistent tensions between the authorities and trade union organizations.
Reaffirming its support for the Trade Union Front for the Defense of Labor (FSDT), the movement denounces the use of defense and security forces to operate Dakar Dem Dikk buses, as well as the requisitioning of workers in several sectors. These measures, it argues, "are based on coercion, not dialogue."
The FDR also criticizes the government's call to unions, two days before the start of the October strike, to abandon their action. "Statements perceived as pressure tactics are no substitute for responsible negotiation," it argues.
Thus, he considers the government's responses to the demands stemming from the Social Stability Pact to be insufficient. He particularly deplores the adoption of reforms to the Labor Code and the Social Security Code without respecting the consensus reached during tripartite consultations, believing that this approach "undermines the trust necessary for social dialogue."
The movement points out that the unions organized two general strikes in three months: a first 24-hour strike in July 2026, followed by a second 72-hour strike in October. According to the FDR, these mobilizations were preceded by the filing of a strike notice and several approaches to public authorities, including press conferences, general assemblies, national marches, and calls for dialogue.

Voilà les vérités que beaucoup de sénégalais ignorent du fait du choix de traitement de l'information fait par la presse.
