Aqaba logistics firm staff reinstated

The Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority ASEZA Board of Commissioners on Saturday reinstated 56 employees of Nafeth Company for Logistics Services who were fired by the Aqaba Transport Company owned and operated by the authority.The employees were dismissed after staging a strike to press their demands over pay and better work conditions.“Reappointing those employees is a bias for their (dismal) living conditions and the right to work and live in dignity since they were formerly ASEZA employees who were transferred to Nafeth Co. when a deal was signed with it to administer and operate the entry and exit of trucks project launched by the authority and later privatized,” ASEZA President Kamel Mahadin said.
