BEIRUT:
Labor Minister Salim Jreissati said Tuesday that an agreement to make
Electricite de Liban contract workers permanent employees has not been
completed yet.
“Up
till now, no final agreement has been reached regarding the case of EDL workers
and bill collectors,” Jreissati told Voice of Lebanon radio station.
He
noted that a parliamentary committee has been set up and given a 10-day
ultimatum to solve this issue.
EDL
contract workers suspended their ongoing protests Friday in order to allow
Cabinet and political parties to reach an agreement that would make them
permanent employees at the state-run company.
However,
they threatened to resume demonstrations if a deal was not struck by Monday.
Jreissati called for
self-restraint while efforts are being exerted to resolve the issue.
