Justice Ministry Employees Start Open Strike [Archives:2000/43/Local News]

The ministry of justice employees started on Wednesday an open strike, protesting against non-implementation of a cabinet decision to give them a pay rise three months ago.
A finance ministry source admitted the ministrys receipt of the decision, justifying the delay by saying that there were other commitments that caused the delay in disbursing the sums as they were used to buy cars for the judges.
The employees of the ministry of justice expressed their grief towards this unfair treatment and wondered why a judge receives an amount of 250 thousand Riyals while an administrative employee receives only 10 thousand Riyals and both have the same responsibilities towards their families.
