MUSCAT: The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority has issued a statement on preventing the dismissal of 42 Omani employees in a licensed postal company.
The services of these employees were due for termination by the end of April as their project contracts were coming to an end.
In its statement, the authority stated that it worked hard to prevent layoffs, and met with the concerned parties, the Ministry of Labour and the trade union of the concerned companies to settle the dispute between the company and its employees. This initiative resulted in the extension of the contract, and the non-dismissal of these Omani employees.
