Mali: Orange workers strike over shareholding

Workers at Orange Mali have concluded a two-day stay-away to press home their demand for a revaluation of their shareholding in the telecoms company.

The strike, which began 20 November 2019 and ended 21 November 2019, was in response to the company’s failure to increase the workers’ shareholding in the company from 4.5% to 10%.

According to the Orange Mali Trade Union, workers had engaged company management “for months”, in addition to embarking on peaceful action – including wearing red armbands to express their dissatisfaction.

The workers argued that their stake in the company is small compared to shareholding owned by staff at other similar companies including Malitel, where workers control about 10% stake in the company.
