One of the emblematic figures of the union struggle has bowed out. Malemba Sock died in Paris following a long illness. When his death was announced, personalities paid tribute to one of the pioneers of trade unionism in Senegal.
In turn, the president of the High Council for Social Dialogue, Ms. Innocence Ntap Ndiaye, expressed her condolences following the announcement of the death of Mademba Sock, the Secretary General of UNSAS. “I learned of my death as I was preparing to leave Geneva where I was taking part in the work of the 112th International Labor Conference. With several other members of the national delegation. So you can imagine our astonishment even though we knew he was ill for some time,” said the president of the HCDS.
Of Mademba Sock, Ms. Ndiaye will say that “he was a partner whose commitment to the interests of workers had no limit. Both nationally and internationally. An icon of the world of work,” testified the president of the HCDS. The latter also wanted to present her sad condolences to the members of her family and her comrades here and elsewhere. But also to Mr. Pape Birama Diallo, Vice President of the HCDS Workers and to Sister Awa Wade.
