Kuwait Oil Union Says It Will Continue Strike

Posted by April 19, 2016

The spokesman for thousands of striking Kuwaiti oil and gas workers said on Tuesday that their three day-old strike would continue until planned public sector pay reforms are cancelled.

 
"The strike is ongoing until the implementation of the demands of the workers," Farhan al-Ajmi, head of the Petrochemicals Industries Company workers union, told a press conference.
 
"A decision to cancel (the strike) is linked to the abolition of decisions issued by the Petroleum Corporation," he added.
