REPORT: EDL contract workers celebrate victory, hoist poster of Berri
The Electricité Du Liban contract workers and bill collectors celebrated on Thursday, for the second day in a row, the parliament’s approval to grant them permanent tenure at the company, where a large poster of Speaker Nabih Berri was hoisted.

The contract workers’ committee described passing the law as an accomplishment in the history of unions’ movements, extending their apologies to all those who were harmed by their protests and sit-ins.

On Wednesday, the Parliament ratified the draft law which aims at filling the vacant position at the Electricité Du Liban company following a skill test limited to the contract workers, the on-demand workers and bill collectors.

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 protests have included shutting the gates of EDL headquarters in Beirut and disrupting normal work at the state-run company.
