DGAM: Seven Unions Call for Resumption of Dialogue After SYNABEPAM Strike

The day after a strike by SYNABEPAM at the Directorate General of Maritime Affairs (DGAM), seven other maritime administration unions issued a joint statement on June 9, 2026, calling for social dialogue. They acknowledge the legitimacy of demands for a housing allowance of 1.3 billion FCFA and the revaluation of quarterly bonuses. The unions recall that these issues were submitted in September 2024 but face technical and financial constraints, including exceeding the regulatory cap of 40% on bonuses. They reaffirm their commitment to the 2022-2027 social truce and regret the lack of favorable response despite multiple follow-ups.
