KUWAIT: Chairman of the Union of Consumer Cooperative Societies, Badah Al-Dosari stressed the Union’s support for the National Labor Replacement Program in the cooperative sector and for employing Kuwaitis in different positions across the stores. Al-Dosari said that the Union is also working on the implementation of the Commerce Minister Fahad Al-Shuraian’s decision issued recently, regarding the policy of Kuwaitization of supervisory jobs, in the catering branches of cooperative societies.
