(TAP) - Production at the Nawara gas and El Waha oil fields in Tataouine, operated by the Austrian company OMV, was suspended Tuesday at midnight, following a 3-day workers' strike from June 3 to 5.
This strike was decided by the General Federation of Petroleum and Chemical Products, after the dismissal of 23 executives and permanent and contractual workers in an arbitrary manner, according to the strike notice published on May 18.
This action was decided after the failure of the conciliation session held at the seat of the General Labour Inspectorate, in the absence of the company's management, according to the federation's press release.
The demands of the union stipulate the reinstatement of the dismissed workers, the cessation of deductions from the salaries of executives and workers carried out without consulting the union, as well as the restitution of the April levies, member of the regional labour union Adnen Yahyaoui told TAP.
The strike notice also mentions a halt to the replacement of permanent executives and workers by temporary workers who cost more.
