GUINEA -

SYNEM (formerlly called SYNTRAD), the domestic workers union in Guinea, an affiliate of the IDWF recently disaffiliated from the trade union national centre, CNTG and affiliated to the other centre, the ONSLG in the country.  On August 13, Asmaou Bah the General Secretary of SYNEM told the whole story at an press conference.

The objectives of the press conference are:

  • Explain why the GS of SYNEM-GUINEE left the CNTG
  • Inform about SYNEM-GUINEE’s affiliation to the national center ONSLG
  • Denounce the blockage of the ratification of C189 by comrade Amadou Diallo, GS  of CNTG
  • Make an appeal to the ministry of labour to remove the suspension of the work of the tripartite commission for the ratification of C189

Asmaou is a member (alternate) of the IDWF Executive Committee and the Chair of the African Federation of Domestic Workers Network.  She founded the first domestic workers union in Guinea in 2010 and since then has been leading her union to fight for the ratification of the C189 in Guinea among other things.  We have been shocked to learn of the recent move of CNTG to block the ratification process in the government solely because SYNEM is no longer its affiliate.
