Following an appeal by the Union of Oil and Gas Workers in Libya, the extractions of the national company were suspended on Wednesday. The Union explained that the suspension is a kind of first warning to the Presidential Council that did not implement the 67% wage increase agreement issued in October 2013.
In a statement issued by its media office, the Union granted the head of the national unity government, Fayez el-Sarraj, a deadline that began last Tuesday to implement the increase. The statement said that Decree No. 642 on wage increases for oil and gas workers has still not been implemented when it was issued six years ago. Several legal verdicts have been issued by the Libyan courts concerning the implementation of this decree since the resumption of production for two years.
The Union called on the Presidential Council to publish the salary scales of the Ministry of Finance, the Accounts Office, the National Guard, the Staff Department, the Airports Department, the Ministry of Health, the Administrative Supervision Authority and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the official website of the Ministry of Finance.
