The Supreme Judiciary Council (SJC) and the Ministry of Labour (MoL) inaugurated a new headquarters for labour dispute resolution committees at the SJC building in the Industrial Area, in the presence of HE SJC President Dr Hassan bin Lahdan al-Hassan al-Muhannadi, and HE Minister of Labour Dr Ali bin Smaikh al Marri.
This step aims to increase the geographical distribution of the committees, and keenness to provide more facilitation in labour judicial transactions, and for the speed of their completion in a short time and under one roof.
The inauguration illustrates the tireless efforts of both sides to ensure the continuity of all the procedures of the judicial committees' work in a normal and accurate manner, and to continue to perform the tasks assigned to them, especially during the World Cup period.
It also confirms the continued interest of the State over the labour aspect, and the provision of means of support to all workers in the State.
It also implements the Cabinet decision No 6 of 2018 on the formation of labour dispute resolution committees, the rules and procedures to be followed, as well as the mechanism for implementing their decisions and determining their remuneration.
The new headquarters includes the presence of a team of judgments enforcement, to facilitate procedures and decisions issued by labour dispute resolution committees, in addition to the presence of five labour committees during the current judicial season which will work on the settlement of disputes. The headquarters has been chosen to be near labour gatherings in the Industrial Area for easy access for greater number of people.(QNA)
