Early in the morning, the demonstrators, placards in hand, protested vigorously. According to them, several employees had been dismissed without clear procedures or valid grounds, in violation of internal rules and, they claim, of current labour law. Furthermore, they speak of a deteriorating working atmosphere and a lack of transparency in decision-making.
