Al-Qubai criticizes law for impacting craftsmen and workers
The article focused on discussing the draft law for regulating professional work in Jordan, which aims to organize the labor market and formalize the professions of informal workers. The report explains that more than half of the workers (about 55%) operate informally, totaling over one million workers who support approximately four million Jordanians. Deputies and specialists criticized the draft law due to its heavy emphasis on imposing penalties and fines, considering this approach a threat to workers who earn their livelihoods and turning them into criminals. They also pointed out that conducting necessary tests within 90 days for such a large number of workers presents a significant challenge. Additionally, they expressed concern about the government's policy of imposing fees for training and examinations without providing support or government assistance. They believe that the draft law increases the burden on the working class and requires revision to ensure workers' rights are protected and to strike a balance between regulating the market and safeguarding workers' interests.
