The workers emphasized that “the increase in income is one of the most important reasons for moving the Jordanian economy wheel, and that the amount of the increase does not constitute a burden on the state, but rather the results will be positive on the individual and society.”
One of the committee members, Ahmed Al-Saadi, stressed that “the allowance should go in line with the current living conditions, and the inflation rates that are announced by the government.”
