Workers at European Guarding & Security Services (EGSSCO) protested over a new contract given to them by the company, alleging that it does not meet the minimum wage threshold. An investigation conducted by the authorities found that all workers' wages according to the new contract complied with the minimum wage threshold. However, the authorities found that the new contract includes a clause violating the non-compete clause, providing that the workers must work for EGSSCO for at least five years and are not allowed to change jobs during this period.
