KUWAIT CITY, May 30: The Labor Union of the Kuwait Oil Company says the current privatization system in Kuwait has proven to be ineffective after the employment crisis witnessed in petrol stations in Kuwait, reports Al-Rai daily. In a press statement, the union indicated that this crisis has revealed the fragility of the studies on which privatization was based, adding that the actual losers in such a situation are the Kuwaiti citizens.

The union called on the government to review the privatization program, especially since the crises that resulted from this program are being witnessed by everyone. It revealed its surprise by the government’s silence regarding this crisis and the lack of interaction, even with a comment or statement. The union added that, “The queues in gas stations are longer than the queues for bread in other countries”.
