It has been said that a hundred or a hundred & seventy female teachers have been dismissed from Princess Nora University through a company which is in charge of providing the university with "contracting with female employees." The new trend of seeking the support of companies is a funny thing due to that there is a work system and employees system which, both, determine Employment Law without seeking a mediator, unless the case includes a trickery which mocks the systems and makes the company, instead of the university, legally in charge of any breach of employment! The wrongful termination has occurred without seeking the agreement of the involved parties, which means that it happened through an agreement between the university and the company. The psychological and material consequences to which the dismissed female employees have been subjected represent an illogical issue. Their recovery of their rights is an obligatory duty that should be borne by Ministry of Higher education, Ministry of Labor and the other various supervisory authorities that did not move rapidly and positively for investigating the circumstances, reasons and consequences of the dismissal. Let's suppose that there it has been proved that a certain percentage of the female teachers were not qualified enough through the experiment of a whole academic year: how can they, all, be subjected to dismissal & substitution by foreign female teachers which number exceeded four hundred ones, in spite of the availability of many solutions such as rehabilitating them through courses organized within or out of the university? If we have been complaining from the unemployment and its social & security & moral consequences; how can a rising university, which systems are supposed to be of very high levels, sacrifice the female citizens for the favor of the female foreigners?! If dismissal of a foreigner or a citizen is a part of Labor system and texts; what has been published states that the female teachers have signed a contract for another year but have been shocked by the dismissal notification! It's a case which requires questioning in spite of that we are not assuming the bad intentions. However; the intention is represented through a deed which is incompatible with the principle of employing the male and female citizens. What would have happened if such dismissal has been applied on employees from a foreign nationality without an agreement between the involved parties, especially if they were Europeans or Americans, even if their number was half of this number? How would we, then, face the reaction of the embassies and the foreign governments? How would we face the lawsuits raised to International Labor Organization and other similar bodies? What were the losses that we would have been subjected to & what bad reputation would have been attributed to us? As for the male and female citizens; they are subject to our own systems. In most cases, the mediations and the power of the procedure executive authority get involved and lead the order towards injustice & a compromise that does not secure the full right of the oppressed citizen! The university is a government sector and not a private one. Accordingly; if it does not adhere to the systems that control it, it should be considered a violator for them. The right, regardless of the way through which it is understood, does not provide them with the right of dismissal through a company. In this regard, the prosecution should address the structure of the restrictions that determine its work. The question is addressed to the supervisory authorities, Board of Grievances, Ministry of Labor & Ministry of Civil Services. Is the university rightful when it implements such procedure without being subjected to accountability and without looking at the case from its legal perspectives? What consequential rights are there for these female employees who have been arbitrarily dismissed? These are questions to which we hope to receive positive answers that preserve the rights of all parties.
