The Minister of Labor and Rehabilitation in the Government of National Unity, Ali Al-Abed, said during his hosting of “Flusna” program, which is broadcast on the Tabadul TV and WTV, presented by the journalist Ahmed Al-Sanussi, that the launch of a campaign of duality between the public and private sectors came to limit those who are the owners of projects, factories and shops.
It is not reasonable that everyone who owns a private property for a number of shops and holds a government position, pointing out that the owner of this activity must not crowd out the job seeker in the country from the first chapter, so whoever works in the country must be necessary to be disciplined, especially after amending the salary schedule the consolidated.
He continued about the salary scale, where he clarified that the increase in salaries does not imply that those receiving them are not fulfilling their duties due to having private work. He added that the campaign is currently targeting commercial project owners, based on the Ministry’s access to records and commercial licenses, where irregularities were found. He explained that employees in the private sector are expected to have a work contract with their employer, whether it’s in a store or elsewhere, and this contract should be authenticated by the Ministry of Labor to ensure their rights are protected.
Al-Abed confirmed that Law No. 12 of 2010 strictly forbids combining two jobs, adding that regulating the labor market has become a necessary duty to determine the economy and the number of unemployment. A system is also being established to calculate labor economies from unemployment, budget, GDP and performance rate, commenting on the average performance of the administrative authorities of the state, where he mentioned that the employees did not come to work.
Al-Abed also added that through the inspection plan carried out by the Ministry of Labor in the areas of Al-Andalus, Ben Ashour, Jaraba, Benghazi Center, Misrata and Sebha, it was discovered that there were stores worth millions owned by individuals. This is why the Ministry initiated this duality campaign.
Al-Abed confirmed that the reports issued by international organizations, which say that the unemployment rate in Libya is 18%, are incorrect.
