Contract workers at the Electricite Du Liban reopened Rashaya road after having blocked it with burning tires for a short while on Thursday morning. Elsewhere, the contract workers cut off Tyre highway with burning tires to protest the company’s failure to pay their salaries.
EDL contract workers have been protesting for months calling on the government to employ them as full-time staff and to pay their salaries. Their movements have included shutting the gates of EDL headquarters in Beirut and disrupting normal work at the state-run company.
