They reportedly prevented cars from entering or exiting the premises.

EDL hourly-wage employees have pressuring the company to improve their work conditions and have called for changing their states from hourly to salaried employees to salaried appointment as permanent staff.

The parliament on Monday reached an agreement to change the employment status of the employees after conducting an assessment to determine their eligibility.

One observer told Ya Libnan: ” They should change the name of the electricity company to the Blackout company , because there are more blackouts in Lebanon than electricity “.

         The tragedy is not the power cut, nor is it the hourly rate, wages, salary, what have you. The real tragedy please think with me, is that this has been going on for so long? Why? We have – beautiful downtown, wonderful shops, the world’s exciting night clubs, best restaurants, a massive number of university graduates, wealthy elites, top models of cars on the roads, caviar and foie Gras in shops, designer clothes, money given to us by gulf states, abused maids from Sri Lanka and Bangladesh  abused for lack of sense, yet, all of that and if Bangladesh had a similar problem with electricity for so long they would have resolved it, not us why? the silent people are just as guilty. Every year the Electricity company loses 2 billion dollars. Over the years they must have lost 20 billion dollars in  poor performance. Who is doing this incompetence? why don’t we get rid of them? fire them. I would not employ them not even at minimum wage.
