According to web-magazine Al Ghad, dozens of Jordan Phosphate Mines Company’s workers held a protest against their dismissal on July 7 in front of Al Aqaba governorate building.
The workers said that 45 employees got notified that their contracts will not be renewed, which made them protest asking to be hired back, explaining that some of them have been working since 2013 and haven’t been permanently appointed while the company has appointed Indian workers.
The protesters stated to the media that the company intends to appoint more than 100 workers in the industrial complex for a salary of 300 dinars. The workers ask the company to appoint them instead of bringing other workers, especially that they have families to feed and that some of them have been working for the company for a long time.
More than 85 contractual workers are working in the Aqaba’s industrial complex belonging to the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company through subcontractors, as the company obliges subcontractors to hire daily contractual employees.
