They claim the NGO terminated their contracts without valid reasons and failed to pay owed salaries. The workers demand compliance with labor laws and compensation for the abrupt termination of their contracts, which they argue was handled improperly by management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"ap-article-header-tag\"> <strong>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique. <\/strong> <\/span>A group of 600 employees from the American NGO, the Ariel Glaser Foundation, in the northern Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado, has demanded compliance with the law as the organization has allegedly decided to dismiss them without valid reason.<\/p>\n<p>The Ariel Glaser Foundation is focused on the fight against HIV and AIDS in several districts of Cabo Delgado.<\/p>\n<p>The group of suspended employees, who have been gathering at the organization\u2019s facilities in the provincial capital, Pemba, claims that there were irregularities in the process conducted by human resource managers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe suspension of contracts occurred in an unclear manner without respecting the labor law. We are here to claim our rights, because our contracts were cancelled at a time when we were only suspended, and we don\u2019t understand the reasons for this decision\u201d, a source said, cited by the independent newsheet \u201cCarta de Moc\u0327ambique.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The workers also accuse the human resource manager of not fulfilling the promise to pay the salaries owed for March.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe workers expect to receive compensation, similar to what occurs in situations of dismissal initiated by the employer. There are irregularities in the administrative process of terminating the contracts\u201d, said one of the employees, Noe\u0301mia Jose\u0301.<\/p>\n<p>She added that the letters giving the workers notice indicate that the termination of the contracts is scheduled for 10 May, \u201cbut the workers are being pressured to leave their positions before that date, without guarantees of payment of their wages for March and April.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Foundation\u2019s management has not commented on the issue yet. However, the organization had already announced the end of its activities in Cabo Delgado.<\/p>\n<p>The Ariel Glaser Foundation has been active in Mozambique, focusing on combating HIV and AIDS, particularly in the northern province of Cabo Delgado. This region has faced numerous challenges, including economic instability and social issues, which have been exacerbated by the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crises. The recent allegations against the NGO highlight the complexities of labor relations in a sector that is crucial for public health but often struggles with governance and accountability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Mozambique<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What You Need to Know A group of 600 employees from the Ariel Glaser Foundation in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, is protesting alleged illegal dismissals.
