Iraq / Dhi Qar: The strike of hundreds of daily-wage and temporary contractual workers in the electricity departments to ask for their appointment

Hundreds of daily-wage workers and temporary contract workers in Dhi Qar electricity departments announced their entry into an open strike to ask for their appointment.

The daily-wage and temporary workers participate in the strike of Dhi Qar electricity power stations, including ”Nasiriyah” thermal power station, “Nasiriyah” gas station, the south-west networks and departments, like the other stations in the rest of the Iraqi provinces to ask for the implementation of the ministry's and government's commitments concerning their appointment.
