Contract workers at the Electricite Du Liban in the Bekaa region staged a sit-in on Monday outside the Baalbek branch, where they stressed the need to continue holding movements after they reached dead end and in order to find a radical solution that will end the suffering of 1300 contract workers by granting them tenure at the company.
The protesters called on Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq and Director General if the Internal Security Forces Maj. Gen. Imad Othman to follow- up on the case of the attack against the worker Hassan Akl, urging them to launch a transparent investigation and take the necessary measures against the officers who slapped the contract worker.
