Sfax Olive Labor Shortage
Olive workers in Sfax say they are reluctant to work because of low wages and deductions, the hardship of harvesting, precarious seasonal contracts and the lack of social coverage. They also cite the withdrawal of healthcare cards or the reduction of their validity to three months, which puts their right to medical care and benefits at risk. Some have worked for more than 20 years without being formally employed, earning no more than 17 dinars a day. The director of the Bouzaytouna complex has acknowledged a labor shortage, low wages and inadequate equipment. Workers are calling for higher pay, the regularization of their employment status, and guarantees of their social and health rights, as the season’s production has been affected by climatic difficulties.
