TUNIS, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Tunisia's powerful labour union said on Tuesday its ministers would not rejoin the interim government after the president and prime minister quit the ruling party in a bid to meet popular demands.
"Our key condition is that the government should not include any ministers who were ministers in the previous government," Abid Briki, a union leader, told Reuters by telephone.
"That demand does not include Mohamed Ghannouchi who was asked by constitutional means to form a new government."
Tunisia's labour union withdrew its three ministers from the government earlier on Tuesday. (Reporting by Lin Noueihed)
