Reuters: Central African unions strike despite resignations
BANGUI (Reuters) – Unions in Central African Republic said on Saturday they would continue a general strike over civil servants’ salary arrears despite the resignation of Prime Minister Elie Dote and his government late on Friday.
Dote, who had been prime minister since 2005, announced his resignation as parliament was preparing to vote on a censure motion against him. Unions launched a general strike on January 2 to demand the payment of seven months of arrears in salaries to civil servants and teachers.
