Algerie Telecom CEO Azouaou Mahmel told staff at a
regional meeting in Ghardaia that the company has not invested enough
in ITC and did has not done its part to promote technology across the
country, Agence Ecofin reports. “We must make up for the
under-investment to upgrade access infrastructure to new technologies,
notably broadband, without forgetting to invest in human resources”, he
said. Mahmel and unions have agreed to a 13 percent salary increase for
around 26,000 workers, in line with a collective agreement signed by the
parties in 2012.
The CEO said the company would set up a worker training programme to enable employees to move into positions of higher responsibility. Algerie Telecom will also renew its vehicle fleet and issue new uniforms. Mahmel added that management was studying employees’ remaining demands. Agence Ecofin reports that the operator has been hit by industrial action since the end of last year, with unions presenting a list of demands to management on 20 January. The list of 18 points included raising salaries by 13 percent, in addition to the 17 percent increase already paid, performance-related bonuses for workers on basic pay.
