This stamp commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the Tunisian General Labor Union (1946-1996). The abundant illustration of A. Fekih juxtaposes the nation's driving forces: the construction sector (crane and scaffolding), agricultural modernization (tractor) and traditional textile crafts (man with a spinning wheel).
It underlines the central role of the UGTT in the fight for independence and economic development. The organization's logo (a handshake against a national flag background) shines at the top, symbolizing worker unity and social dialogue.
