EDL Contract Workers Stage Sit-in as Man Tries to Immolate Self
Electricite Du Liban contract workers staged sit-ins on Monday in various Lebanese regions pushing a longstanding demand for their full-time employment, the National News Agency reported on Monday.
Protesting contract employees in the southern city of Tyre staged a protest inside the company's headquarters. Meanwhile around 5 staff members continued their work normally, NNA said.
In Beirut, a protesting employee identified as Amer Moussa, has reportedly tried to immolate himself outside the EDL main branch.
Several parallel strikes kicked off in Bekaa and South Lebanon.
“Our strike is gradually escalating and might move to other places similar to the parliament and the ministry of energy,” the employees threatened.
