Labour Ministry refers ACT employee dispute to court

By Petra - Oct 15,2014 - Last updated at Oct 15,2014

AMMAN — Labour Minister Nidal Katamine on Wednesday referred the dispute between the Aqaba Container Terminal (ACT) company and the General Union of Port Workers to the labour court.

The ministry is seeking a legal resolution to the ongoing issue after several areas of contention failed to be resolved during the reconciliation council talks aimed at bridging the gap between the two sides.

On Monday, ACT employees began a new strike to stress earlier demands for several benefits that the company had promised to meet.
