Tunisia has seen numerous sit-ins and strikes since January 14th, though few can match the longevity of the sit-in at the Monastir airport that has been ongoing since February.
The various actors are still far from finding a consensus to this protest movement. It has perturbed the functioning of the airport but allowed traffic to continue, as the agents alternate work and protest.
Another organized sit-in took place on Tuesday, September 6th, expanding to a nearby train station and blocking the rail traffic between Sousse and Monastir the entire day.
Like other Tunisian airports, Habib Bourguiba Airport in Monastir registered a decline in traffic due to the transfer of most of its flights to the airport of Enfidha , and this loss of business is the protester’s chief complaint.
According to the general-secretary of the labor union of the civil aviation and the airports, this sit-in is the only answer to the other parties involved – the Turkish company TAV and the authorities – for not respecting their promises and their commitments concerning the return of activity of the airport. He also specified that the strikers still demand that the airport remains under the supervision of the OACA ( the labor union) instead of the TAV.
