The employees of the Zawiya Oil Refining Company averted a strike and operations were reported to be running on schedule on Wednesday, but a small demonstration demanding better security for their company would be held.
Earlier this week, a group of war veterans demanding better government compensation and medical treatment blocked the entrance to the refinery and stopped operations for two days, leading to long queues at petrol stations and a shortage of fuel in the capital.
Refinery employees had threatened to strike until the government met their demands for better security.
