The Committee for the Defence of the Trade Union Freedoms and Labour Rights held its regular meeting on Tuesday (January 15th) to discuss the memorandum submitted by the unions to the Council of Ministers, which monitors the intransigence faced by trade unions.
The attendees discussed what was done in the Ministry of Manpower in order to arrange an appointment to meet with the minister. However, the ministry avoided scheduling another date objecting to the one chosen by the unions and did not specify another date.
The committee went to the Council of Ministers and submitted the memorandum signed by the unions to the Secretariat of the Council of Ministers, whose officials promised to examine the memorandum and the complaint and work with the Ministry of Manpower to set another date with the minister, next Sunday , to discuss the unions’ complaints, which will be submitted by the lawyers of the Center for Trade Union & Workers Services, next Sunday with the Minister's Advisor and then consider the developments that will result from the meeting and the steps to move forward.
On the other hand, the attendees stressed that the amendment of the new draft labour law has been made in the Labour Force Committee in Parliament and will therefore be presented directly to the General Committee. They pointed out that the amendments of the bill are superficial amendments that do not affect the essence of the project and that the Center for Trade Union & Workers Services and the Committee for the Defence of the Trade Union Freedoms and Labour Rights has dealt with the draft and issued a set of papers relating to job safety materials and other materials.
The participants agreed that the banknotes should be redrafted, according to the latest amendments and the notes of the draft law as a whole and the articles (each article separately), and that they should contact the MPs to follow up the project and inform them about their point of view, according to the new amendments.
