RAMALLAH, February 6, 2014 (WAFA) –
Minister of Labour, Ahmad al-Majdalani, said on Thursday that an agreement was reached
between UNRWA’s administration and its employees, ending the employees strike
which lasted for more than 65 days.
During a meeting between UNRWA
officials and workers union Majdalani said that, “It has been agreed to compensate
the strike days and not to make salary deduction.”
He considered this agreement an
important step in ending the strike, adding that talks are underway to sign a
memorandum of understanding between the two parties regarding what has been
agreed on.
Al-Majdalani stressed that part of
the workers’ demands have been met while the rest were delayed for more
deliberation between the mutual committees of the workers union and the UNRWA.
