Strike at AIBD: SYNPAAS warns management against any sanctions

SYNPAAS denounced the systematic physical attendance checks at the Yoff and Diass sites during the general strike, saying they were intended to intimidate striking workers. In a letter to AIBD Director General Cheikh Mamadou Abiboulaye Dièye, the union, led by Secretary General Serigne Moustapha Gaye, warned against disciplinary measures linked to participation in the strike. It disputes management’s authority to declare the strike “illegal” and says it will challenge abusive or punitive salary deductions, warnings, reprimands and suspensions. The union said it remains committed to social dialogue.

Cameroon’s public investment budget (BIP) is expected to increase in 2027 but remain below the 40% share of the general budget targeted by the 2020-2030 National Development Strategy. At an October 27 cabinet meeting in Yaoundé chaired by Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute, the government announced an “appreciable increase” without specifying the planned amount or its share of the budget.
