Plus de 30 000 emplois perdus: Mbaye Dione interpelle le ministre Mamadou Lamine Diante sur la vague de licenciements dans le secteur public
In his correspondence, the parliamentarian expresses his concern about a situation he describes as critical. "Many workers in public and semi-public institutions (such as FERA, CDC, ASPEX, DDD, Grand Théâtre, Port of Dakar, LONASE, FONGIP, Radisson, etc.) have recently been laid off by the current regime," he emphasizes. According to the member of the 15th legislature, these measures are "perceived as abusive" and are having a "devastating social impact." This tension in the labor market has notably led to the creation of the Rally of Workers of Senegal (RTS) and a remobilization of the trade union front.
The Honorable Mbaye Dione also highlights the legal and financial impasse in which several affected employees find themselves. "Moreover, many of these unjustly dismissed workers who had filed lawsuits against their employer won their cases but are still waiting to be reinstated or to receive the damages owed to them," he denounces.
To shed light on this situation, the Member of Parliament is asking the Minister to provide specific answers regarding the reinstatement of the affected employees. He is questioning the supervisory authority about the "concrete and immediate measures" planned to guarantee "the full and unconditional reinstatement of all workers unjustly dismissed from the companies and organizations mentioned, in coordination with the relevant union representatives."
The financial aspect and the handling of arrears constitute another central point of this appeal.
Mbaye Dione calls on the minister to "provide the National Assembly with the exact number of workers affected by unpaid wages, the total amount of arrears owed, and present a precise and binding timetable for their full payment." He further demands the granting of "full compensation covering not only the statutory severance pay, but also damages for the moral and material harm suffered."
Faced with what he describes as a "social tragedy" and "total disarray," the parliamentarian is questioning the government about the emergency support mechanisms that have been put in place. He specifically mentions "the establishment of a psychosocial support unit, professional retraining programs, and funds to help create businesses" in order to support affected families and "prevent a more serious social crisis."
Attached to his letter of inquiry, the MP produced a detailed breakdown of job losses reported across some thirty organizations and companies. According to this attached document, the total number of jobs lost amounts to 30,633, including entities such as FERA (26,000), Universal Health Coverage (1,300), the Autonomous Port of Dakar (800), Amadou Mahtar Mbow University of Thiès (600), AIBD (514) and Sine Saloum University (328).
