For their part, the sources of the two companies that operate the cellular sector in Lebanon say that the minister did not ask us to continue leading the sector. Last week he sent us a message informing us of the cabinet’s decision, inviting us to the meeting, and this is what happened.
The refusal does not mean that matters are put on the right track, especially in terms of the slow implementation of the recovery decision, and this has started since the Ministry of Communications transferred it to the Cabinet, considering that there was no legal reason. For that. According to sources familiar with the meeting between Hawat and the two Alpha Board Presidents, Marwan Hayek and “Touch” Emery Gorkan, “the minister did not present any plan or mechanism of action during the next period.” What Hayek was, however, was that Hawat was asked to put in place a mechanism that allows employee and supplier affairs to run during the transition period, and that the two companies are able to sign employee wages and supplier invoices, provided the documents are also accompanied by the minister’s signature.
For its part, the Union of Cellular Company Employees and Employees issued a statement yesterday stating that since the announcement of the recovery of the sector by the state, “We have requested an urgent date from the Minister of Communications to inform him of our concerns and demands, in parallel to sending us a written letter according to which we request an official date from the Prime Minister, where we meet with his office manager on May 1. And we put it in the form of all matters related to the sector and our rights and Our concerns. The Prime Minister found time for the union, while “we have not been able, so far, to meet with the Minister of Communications, despite the description of the wheel that we showed in our application and in all phone calls to he personally and the ministry officials, and in light of the lack of clarity in the transfer process, particularly in the party related to employees, We went to an official letter, registered on May 13, in the minister’s secret secretariat. The book included a warning “against refraining from taking all legal measures with the management of each of the two companies to guarantee the payment of the rights of employees who were deprived of them and who constitute 30% of their annual income ” They demanded the union’s participation in the administration’s transition process to emphasize “the continuity and continuity of the work of the employees and the preservation of all rights acquired and legally guaranteed … and the inclusion of a collective labor contract legally and officially , in the context of any future tender or tender as a condition of the necessary conditions “.
The second urgent point is not to “pay the salaries of colleagues at the Touch Company.” Zain, who runs Make2, this time decided to put employees in the middle of the conflict with the Lebanese state and refrain from paying their wages after being in the past few months. From her account, and to be arrested later by the state. According to the union statement, “This serious violation constitutes a precedent, and we will not provide any escalation after giving interested parties the time limit they requested, and we have been very patient with them … The union continues to coordinate with your legal advisor the progress of pending matters in the Ministry of Labor. We urge all colleagues to be alert and not to sign any document related to the transfer process, or accept any waiver of any right, before reviewing it to preserve the rights in full. ” The union hoped that all those involved would assume their responsibility towards cell phone employees, “otherwise they will be forced to name things by their names during the press conference to be held next Monday.
