TAFILEH — Tens of unemployed residents of Tafileh Governorate organised a sit-in on Tuesday near the governor’s headquarters.

Protesters demanded that they be appointed at the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company (JPMC) at Hassa after they finished training at the Vocational Training Centre.

The protesters said around 207 trainees signed agreements with the Labour Ministry and the JPMC under which they were promised jobs after the training period, but are yet to be appointed.

Tafileh Governor Ahmad Jaradat met with the protesters and conveyed their demands to Interior Minister Hussein Majali.

He voiced hope that a solution will be reached.
