The most powerful union in Tunisia called for the stoppage to protest against the economic policies of President Kais Saied in the latest challenge to his rule.
The UGTT union has urged its one million members to observe the strike across the country to protest against government plans for a wage freeze and cuts in subsidies, aimed at securing a $4bn loan from the International Monetary Fund to ease Tunisia's economic crisis.
The union says its motive is not political, but it is bound to be seen as another challenge to President Saied, who has effectively assumed one-man rule for the past year.
