Workers at the Electricity Corporation in Lahj governorate went on strike last Tuesday to protest the delay in payment of their salaries, as the workers accused the local authority of causing the deliberate delay of their salaries.
A labor source inside the corporation revealed that the local authorities are violating the law in dealing with the electricity corporation.
In press statements, he indicated that the Lahj Electricity Corporation is financially and administratively independent from the local authority, adding that local authorities are accumulating new contractors without having the jurisdiction to do so, which led to an imbalance of the institution’s financial budget.
As a result, employees and contractors were deprived of their dues. The Union warned of its intention to escalate its strike if their demands are ignored.
