Staff s at Lulu Supermarket have gone on strike during the weekend, with
hearsay ranging from the distribution of the supermarket to the customers being
stranded and not attended to at the cash register. I don’t really know what
they details on this regard are but I have read that the demands came from Oman
staff working for the supermarket.
What were their demands? Increased pay was one of the top on the list, with
requests for decent working hours, bonuses and better working environment as a
whole. The last point was in the fact that it seems that Oman workers within
the supermarket are not treated fairly, and are morally dissatisfied.
The strike was actually staged after the a letter send by
the Employee Union within the supermarket addressing the demands was actually
ignored, propagating the strike within various outlets of the LULU supermarkets
in Muscat.

What I found insane (over the internet) that lots of people making this issue as an expat vs Omani. We need to understand that this issue is like any other one that comes up in a establishment where employees are dissatisfied.
ReplyDeleteThe ones protesting were Omani and they were dissatisfied by the treatment they were getting from the management and colleagues at the workplace
DeleteWhy not ask LULU to shut down all their business & quit Oman for good.
ReplyDeleteThat shall give more room for Omani entrepreneurs.
I wonder what will happen if all Expat bosses quit and leave a massive opportunity for locals Omanis to run business. Or even better, let all expats leave and let Omanis take over all jobs. From construction workers, cleaners and laundry guys to managers and supervisors.
