Working Hand in Hand

The Trade Union is permanent, continuous and democratic organization run by workers to work in conjunction with management. Since 1984, management has worked closely with employees through the Joint Labor Committee to improve Banagas' working environment and the social welfare of all employees, to encourage increased productivity, to strengthen working relationships between Management and employees and establish channels for employees to voice their problems.

This Committee was later replaced by the Banagas Workers’ Trade Union, which continues to work tirelessly in conjunction with company management and contributes significantly to continuing success of the company. The Banagas Workers Trade Union was established on the 2nd November 2002 following the historic decision of His Majesty the King of Bahrain, Shaikh Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa, with respect to the formation of Trade Unions in accordance with Decree No. 33 for 2002.
