	Emeğin Partisi - EMEP - The Party of Labour
		A trade union that isn't able to pass the 10 percent barrier is not able to claim the authority of signing a collective bargaining agreement.
		No doubt there is no coincidence in the 57th government adding this imposition of the 10 percent barrier to the trade union movement, to its attacks of privatisation, sub-contracting, redundancies and low wage imposition along with the liquidation of social security, all of which are aimed directly at the workers and labourers.
		We expect all trade unions and mass organizations, all parties and forces on the side of labour to protest this injustice occurring in our country and act with feelings of solidarity.

		In the first national elections, in 1956, all 98 seats in the Constituent Assembly were won by the National Union, a united front of the Neo-Destour Party with the UGTT, the National Union of Tunisian Farmers, and the Tunisian Union of Craftsmen and Merchants.
		In the November 1959 elections for the National Assembly, the Communist Party (Parti Communiste Tunisien) presented a list of 13 candidates in Tunis and Gafsa; elsewhere, the Neo-Destour Party was unopposed, and the ruling party won all 90 seats at stake.
		Called the Democratic Forum for Labor and Liberties, it was headed by Dr. Mustapha Ben Jaafar.

	Slugger O'Toole: The unionist blind spot...
		The lack of unionist revulsion at loyalist violence appears to be in reverse correlation to unionist disgust at republican paramilitarism.
		Posted by: Moderate Unionist at July 16, 2005 11:51 PM Loyalist paramilitarism is the key strategic issue for Unionism (a greater challenge than an accomodation with Irish nationalism) and it is one that it is not applying itself to nor developing the full policy vision it needs to tackle this deep-rooted problem.
		Unionists have no problem accepting devolution but it is time for the concessions to violent Republicanism to stop.Lets have a period devoted to building Unionist confidence in the institutions of government.

	Tunisia Government Information
		The ruling party, the Democratic Constitutional Rally (RCD), was the sole legal party for 25 years--including when it was known as the Socialist Destourian Party (PSD)--and still dominates political life.
		Most accept the basic economic and social policies of the government but are critical of the pace of democratization in the country--and focus considerable attention on support for Arab causes.
		Trade unions have played a key role in Tunisia's history since the struggle for independence, when the 1952 assassination of labor leader Farhat Hached was a catalyst for the final push against French domination.

	Union Busting and Capitalist "Democracy"
		Unions in the U.S. were built at the cost of the lives and livelihoods of thousands of workers in the course of bitter battles.
		For the unions to become instruments of militant struggle against the exploiters requires fighting against the politics of the labor bureaucracy, which places faith in capitalist politicians and state agencies.
		The German CP criminally refused to fight for a united front with Social Democratic workers against the Nazis, based on the Stalinist Third Period idiocy that the Social Democracy was the “left wing” of fascism.

		But the ruling party, renamed the Democratic Constitutional Assembly (RCD), continued to dominate the political scene because of its historic popularity and the advantage it enjoyed as the ruling party.
		The current leadership, headed by Abdessalem Jerad, was elected at an extraordinary congress in February 2002, held to reset the union's direction after its former long-time leader was removed for embezzlement in 2000.

		Despite a drop in union membership from 400,000 to about 250,000 as the structure of the Tunisian economy changed, the UGTT continues to hold a prominent place in Tunisia's political and social life, and negotiates with government and the umbrella employer group for higher wages and better benefits.
		Diplomatic relations were broken in 1976, restored in 1977, and deteriorated again in 1980, when Libyan-trained rebels attempted to seize the town of Gafsa.
		Tunisia supported the lifting of UN sanctions against Libya in 2003, and Libya is again becoming a major trading partner, with 2005 exports to Libya valued at $472.2 million and imports at $509.9 million.

	Tunisia's New Elections Law Guaranteed Opposition a Voice
		There are party cells built around the workplace, unions, and other institutions as well as local neighborhood cells.
		Although the economy is moving away from the old statist model and there are competing parties, the RCD still controls a great deal of patronage support and has a national infrastructure that other parties cannot hope to match.
		Given Ben Ali's natural caution, concerns about the experiences with al-Nahda, and alarm about the results of Algeria's experiment in instant democratization, it is, however, a genuine step forward-one which the secular opposition has welcomed even while eagerly hoping for a greater role in the future.
