EDL per diem workers block roads as protests continue
Electricite du Liban per diem workers blocked roads in Beirut’s Corniche al-Nahr, for the second time in less than ten days, to protest a lack of long-term contracts and the ongoing late payment of wages, a security source told The Daily Star.
Some of the workers have not been paid in 10 months, the source added.
The protest began at around 10 a.m., with the blocked road causing a snaking line of traffic.
