AMMAN — The Jordan Teachers Association (JTA) on Monday held a sit-in outside the Education Ministry in protest against the new civil service bylaw.
In a statement, JTA Spokesperson Ayman Okour said the sit-in is part of escalatory measures the association is planning to take against the bylaw, noting that the syndicate has presented its recommendations to amend the law to the authorities.
The JTA says the new regulations violate the rights of middle- and low-income employees, especially teachers, as they entail delaying annual incentives and promotions.
Under the bylaw, employees need around 37 years of service to be classified under the “first category”, which enables them to enjoy certain benefits.
