Tunisia's government and a powerful labour union have agreed a public sector wage increase over the next three years, part of their talks on wider economic reforms aimed at securing a foreign bailout for state finances.
UGTT union officials and a state news agency said on Wednesday the agreement would lift wages for state employees by 3.5% a year from 2022-25, a move that could ease escalating social and economic tensions.
The union officials said the deal will be signed on Thursday, without giving further details.
