Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) MP Suzan al-Saad, a member of the Parliamentary Oil and Energy Committee called to address the employment discrimination between the foreign employee and the Iraqi one in Maysan Oil Fields. Saad stated “During our visit to Maysan Oil Company on last Sunday, we observed several complaints among the workers there over the discrimination between the Iraqi employees and the foreign ones in terms of salaries and the services provided to them in spite of their parallelism in certificates and experience.” She stressed “We demand the Ministry of Oil to consider this issue to settle this problem.” “We also detected complaints concerning the ministerial contracts for those who work according to daily wages in the company,” she added, noting that “MoO did not fulfill its commitments in appointing the contracting employees on the permanent staff, therefore we demand to appoint them like their counterparts in other governmental institutions.” It is worth to be mentioned that the Iraqi Parliament has announced appointing the contracting employees on the permanent staff as well as accounting years of their service since 2003.
