AMMAN — The Ministry of Labour will carry out an intensive inspection campaign during the Eid Al Adha holiday to eliminate labour violations.

Under the campaign, legal measures will be taken against workplaces hiring illegal workers.

The campaign follows repeated and continuing violations by businesses that hire guest workers with no valid work permits and force many Jordanians to become jobless, according to the ministry.

The ministry called on the public to report violators via its hotlines 0796580666 or 0777580666, or via its toll-free landline 080022208.

The ministry campaign will start on the second day of Eid and continue through Tuesday.
