During the World Social Forum in Tunis, the FGAT-UGTT organized a press conference on 27 March with the participation of Zied Nalufi, the union leader unfairly dismissed by SOTUBI management, members of the new union board at SOTUBI/Mondelez and the IUF. Our Belgian affiliate, FGTB-HORVAL, was also on hand to show solidarity to the FGAT food and tourism workers federation and the UGTT trade union center and to support the IUF campaign.
