Strike of TRANSCO agents and executives: a cry of distress and a demand for payment of salaries and bonuses
The Congo transport company (TRANSCO) is facing financial difficulties which directly impact its employees. The company’s agents and executives held a press conference to express their discontent and demand payment of their salaries and bonuses which have been overdue for several months.
Nelson Mudiwamba, executive secretary of the TRANSCO Intersyndicale, underlined the urgency of the social situation within the company. He said he had sent several letters to the government, but without obtaining a satisfactory response. This is why the workers decided to appeal to the media to attract the attention of the authorities and find concrete solutions.
According to Nelson Mudiwamba, it is crucial that the government, the union and the employer come together around a table to discuss these problems and find suitable solutions. He issued a 72-hour ultimatum to the government, saying that in the event of no response, employees would reserve the right to take more drastic measures to defend their rights.
This strike and the demands of TRANSCO agents highlight the difficulties faced by many workers in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Late payment of salaries and bonuses is a reality that seriously affects the daily lives of employees and endangers their well-being.
It is essential that the government takes urgent action to resolve this situation and ensure that TRANSCO agents receive the salaries and bonuses due to them. More rigorous and transparent financial management is also necessary to avoid future similar crises.
TRANSCO employees are at the heart of the smooth running of the company and the provision of essential transport services to the Congolese population. It is therefore imperative to give them the attention and support necessary to ensure their well-being and maintain the efficiency of the business.
The strike by TRANSCO agents highlights the challenges faced by many workers in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is time for concrete measures to be taken to resolve these problems and ensure a better quality of life for the country’s employees.
