In the National Corporation of Petroleum Works in Algeria: the workers are subjected to repression in many ways.

Massoud Makhnach, the Director General of the National Corporation Petroleum Works Corporation, in Algeria, closed the restaurants at Al Hayat in Hassi Messaoud, which affected 5 000 workers during the month of Ramadan. Moreover, he did not pay the wages of 4 000 workers and filed a lawsuit against 50 of them.

The corporation’s’ employees have been on strike for 32 days to ask for their monthly salaries and for the implementation of the 4/4 working system. They also ask for the employment contract to be at least for 12 months, the appointment of workers immediately after 5 years and a 12% grant.

The workers also protested against the poor condition and the poor professional conditions they suffer in “Al Hayat" camps, and the right to benefit from the contract in the private clinics.

The workers suffer from media blackout for their chronic problems. Their administration carried out a number of arbitrary measures, during the strike; which led to the closure of the restaurant on 31/05/2019 and the non-payment of the April salaries nor the 2018 profit grant.
