‘JPRC strike costing the company JD0.5 million a day’

AMMAN — Mustafa Momani, spokesperson of the striking engineers at the Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company (JPRC), on Monday said the strike costs the JPRC around JD0.5 million on a daily basis.

The loss is due to the suspension of work on the hydrogen production units, as the company cannot run them in the absence of the engineers.

The open-ended strike entered its second day on Monday.

The engineers want a pay raise in order to be equal with their peers in other mining firms such as the potash and phosphate companies.
