Kuwaiti oil and gas workers carry on with their three-day-old strike

Kuwait— Thousands of Kuwaiti oil and gas workers continued their strike for the third consecutive day.

A spokesperson said on behalf of the workers that the strike will carry on with their three-day-old strike until planned public sector pay cuts are cancelled.

Workers started their strike fearing reduced salaries, benefits and staff layoffs will be part of a planned government overhaul of the payroll system in the public sector.
