LE BUREAU D’EMBAUCHE UNIQUE : UNE OPPORTUNITÉ POUR L’AMÉLIORATION DES CONDITIONS DE VIE ET DE TRAVAIL DES DOCKERS ET TACHERONS DU PORT DE COTONOU
Conformément au décret N°2022-528 portant organisation de l’embauche et de la gestion de la main-d’oeuvre docker dans les ports et plateformes logistiques portuaires en République du Bénin, le Bureau d’Embauche Unique a été mis en place depuis le 1er février 2023. Pourquoi la création du Bureau d’Embauche Unique (BEU) ? Les mauvaises conditions de vie et de travail ont souvent été décriées par les dockers, tacherons et ouvriers travaillant au Port de Cotonou. Le gouvernement béninois a donc fait suite à leurs plaintes légitimes en initiant cette réforme dont l’objectif est clairement d’améliorer leur situation. C’est à cet effet que le Chef de l’État a décidé de créer le Bureau d’Embauche Unique. Retrouvez l'intégralité du communiqué de presse en cliquant here
