BATELCO, Bahrain's monopoly operator for fixed, Internet and data services, is to reinstate two dismissed trade union officials. The order issued by the Prime Minister Shaikh Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa will come into effect from next week.



Acting trade union chairman Majed Suhrab and union research and development committee head member Faisal Ghazwan were dismissed in July last year, after organising wildcat rallies to demand a 25 per cent pay rise for staff.

The Lower Labour Court ruled in their favour on March 18 and Batelco said immediately afterwards that it would appeal but it announced last night that the men would be reinstated from next week, following the Premier's intervention.
