Doubting it...

I read with interest the article of a friend (Dr. Amer Al Sabaileh) under the title:
"Impeachment is precisely the remedy" (published in The Star -15/09/2008)
but I felt that the conclusion goes far beyond impeachment. The underlying thought and the basic bibliographical reference suggest physical punishment. Personally, for the state of things we are in, neither would I choose Machiavelli nor would I imply any therapeutic wonders based on the saudization of the public sphere. Very dubious results the guillotines brought. And the public sentiment in these days of fraud and deception at the stock markets (the local one included) is not/should not be enough of an excuse that permits any populist evocation of steaming and rightfully shed blood...

Who does flirt with Slavery in Jordan?

Dreaming of Conditions of Slavery in Jordan???
It feels really upsetting watching all the central efforts of the responsible government of Jordan towards modernization and better general conditions in workers' rights and daily life standards, finding a crashing obstacle on the imperial behaviors of unthoughtful managers, directors or, even business owners.

This is the story that came to my knowledge in reliable details.

The General Manager of M...com, a company of courier services, discovered a broken glass in the trash bin of the company. Directly he threatened all the employees with immediate dismissal. Second thoughts pushed him to reconsider (probably thinking of the cost of compensations). He delivered a warning letter to each and all. Moreover he decided to impose a fine upon all employees for the broken glass and to force them to sign a certifying letter that in case they get a training course and decide to leave, or get fired, they will be obliged to pay the gross amount of five thousands (5,000) J.D., a sum that exceeds for most of them the annual revenues from their salaries.

Unbelievable.
Is it acceptable to impose a regime of horror above the desks and the daily tasks of people who try to make in an honorable way their living? Does the post of the General Manager or the status of owner allow the frustration that these young people experience in their effort to produce wealth for the company and build up some experience for their future?

For me that Jordan is a beloved second home, I TOTALLY REFUTE THE IDEA. PLEASE TAKE ACTION AND PROTECT THE DIGNITY OF WORKING PEOPLE.
