AMMAN — Engineers have raised concerns over the non-payment
of retirees’ salaries from the union- affiliated retirement fund since the
beginning of 2023. The issue stems from a lack of liquidity in the fund,
causing delays in disbursing the rightful financial benefits to retired
engineers.

An engineer revealed that she, along with her colleagues,
had made multiple visits to the union seeking clarification on the suspension
of their financial entitlements. The response received was that the fund has
been depleted and is currently awaiting government approval of the necessary
amendments in accordance with the regulations, Ammon News reported.
It has been estimated that approximately 16,000 engineers,
including heirs, are eligible to receive retirement benefits. Urging the
current council to take action, she emphasized the need for immediate efforts
to resolve the issue and ensure the prompt disbursement of salaries.
She urged the council not to shift responsibility solely to
the government when it comes to approving the required amendments.
