The Libyan Oil and Gas Syndicate announced on Wednesday a reduction in production across all fields due to the executive authorities’ refusal to increase the salaries of workers in the sector.
In its statemen, the syndicate threatened to escalate the situation, and extend its protest after its first deadline was ignored.
The syndicate clarified that it will exclude from the sit-in fuel and gas distribution stations, electricity generation stations, and other areas related to the lives of citizens. It added that the government is obligated to provide clarifications to the oil workers about its lack of response to the union’s statements.
