Yemen - Union members dismissed and drivers’ union’s registration revoked (2010)

In April 2009, the General Federation of Workers’ Trade Unions of Yemen (GFWTUY) wrote to the Minister of Social Affairs and Labour to protest against the cancellation of the official registration of the Total Drivers’ Syndicate. It also asked for four drivers dismissed in connection with an industrial dispute, including the head of the union Abdullah Al-Mihdhar, to be reinstated. The letter stated that cancelling the registration of the Total Drivers’ Syndicate violated the provisions of Trade Union Law No. 35, issued in 2002, particularly articles 2 and 14.
