Partial strike by the employees of the General Secretariat of the

row, a local media outlet reported.

The stroke is in
response to the center’s board of trustees, which would not respond to the
employees’ demand, which entailed cancelling some administrative decisions.
The decisions
employees are protesting against are described as contrary to the legislation
governing the work of the center.
One employee said
that the council’s president canceled the meeting that was slated to take place
on Wednesday because he felt that most of those who had confirmed their
attendance were against his decisions.
The employee told
the “
Jordanian Labor Observatory” that some information was leaked about the
council president’s intention to ban all protests at the center.
The employees said
that they will continue to strike until the council’s president backs down from
his decisions, which are not based on professional and institutional frameworks
and standards.
The chairman of the
Board of Trustees had appointed a commissioner for protection and a
commissioner for promotion by proxy, elected the center’s staff, and filled
other administrative vacancies.
As such, two
employees were promoted to directors of departments, one in the Civil and
Political Rights Department, the other in the Public and International
Relations Department.
The employees criticized those decisions at the time because
the president of the council decided alone on these promotions, without telling
the members of the council.
