And here are the demands from the 100 or so that decided to refuse to work today:
1. Extend the deadline of the offer to 31st December 2007.
2. Fixed amount of BD20,000/-
3. 2 months of gross salary for each year of service.
4. GOSI contribution to be up to 10 years depending on age.
5. For the first 5 years after retirement to be treated as staff with all staff travel facilities and medical benefits, thereafter to be treated as retired and implement the company rules.
6. Any application is rejected by the management, should be compensated by a suitable package.
7. 25% increment to all of gulf air nationals (Bahraini & Omani) in order to compensate for inflation as well as the on going freeze on promotions and annual increments.
And these were generally the people you see swiping in and then either, (a)parking the car and getting to their desks 20mins later or (b) going off to take their kids to school and coming back an hour later or (c) driving off and coming back at 3pm to swipe out!
They should have had the door shut on them and told to come back at 3 to clear their desks!
C'mon, turn it around and provide this package to the expats instead, then all the Bahraini & Omani staff can keep their jobs...well for couple of months at least.. it should last about that long under management with that kind of sense.
