The rest after this announcement
Founded on September 19, 1974, the Burkina Confederation of Trade Unions (CSB) is 50 years into the struggle for the working class and workers of Burkina Faso. On Saturday September 21, 2024, she stopped to celebrate this anniversary. Through this Act, this union structure would like to remember ” where she comes to make better progress in her struggle”according to its vice president Damata Ganou.
« It is a moment of reflection, assessment, definition, perspectives. These 50 years have not been a quiet river. There were moments of calm but also moments of turmoil. However, only one aspect has remained constant in the evolutionary path of the CSB over these 50 years, that is the unexpected fight to improve the living conditions of the workers in Burkina Faso.the vice president pointed out.
This persistence in the fight for social justice is even one of the values that the CSB has expressed over these 50 years, according to its general secretary Olivier Guy Ouédraogo. ” When we summarize, what is recurrent at the level of the CSB is that it has always fought for social justice, for solidarity between workers and other components of the Burkinabè people.
The priority today is to protect our territory as we aim for democracy to return to our country. It is the conflicting debate that allows us to move forward »emphasized Olivier Guy Ouédraogo.
For the past fifty years, the celebration has been held in 48 hours of reflection and sharing of ideas. Through his reflection, the issue of the trade union in this context, which involved a security and humanitarian crisis, came to the fore again.

« Burkinabè trade unionism was a great trade unionism that always protected the interests of the people, beyond the protection of the interests of the members. This deserves a lot of flack but that’s its originality. He was a unionist who was always in the plural, who always knew how to bring about unity of action when people’s interests were at stake. added CBS Secretary General.
The Burkinabè Trade Union Confederation (CSB) was founded in 1974 and is affiliated to the Organization of African Trade Union Unity (OUSA) and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC).
