[su_label type=”info”]SMA News – Al-Makla – Exclusive [/su_label][su_spacer size=”10″] City of Al-Makla witnessed complete halt of works on Tuesday July 24th, 2018 as workers and employees initiated a strike in front of the seaport gate. Seaport syndicated called for demonstration and strike of all workers and employees on Monday to protest against a decision issued by Saleh Al-Gabwany, minister of transportation, that appointed a person from outside the Arab Sea Association of Seaports, who has no qualifications or previous experience in running seaports, as deputy of the seaport, because of his close relation with the minister, according to the syndicate. In its statement, the syndicate demanded the minister to cancel his decision of dismissing “Foad Taiseer Al-Rubaki”, deputy of the association, and warned against the consequences of this decision. They also called concerned bodies including Yemeni presidency and local authority of Hadhramaut to urgently interfere to stop this miss that aims to destroy the association through replacing well-qualified personnel with ill-qualified ones.
