Electricité du Liban
hourly-wage employees set a tent in the hall in the company’s headquarters in
Beirut’s Corniche al-Nahr and announced a hunger strike as of Monday, the
National News Agency reported.
EDL hourly-wage employees
have been at odds with the company over improvements to their work conditions
and have called for their appointment as permanent staff.
Although the parliament approved a draft law on July 2 to permanently employ them
– after conducting an assessment to select those competent for hiring – they
still held protests demanding back pay and transferring the draft law to
parliament for approval.
