The Impact of Mergers on Workers’ Rights

Abstract

Some companies have resorted to mergers to cope with economic developments and increased commercial competition, as mergers enable them to increase their competitiveness in the field of trade.

However, this merger often affects the financial solvency of the company in terms of rights and obligations to third parties, and some of the people who are greatly affected by the merger process are employees of this company that has been merged into another company.

It is true that the merger process, whether done by amalgamation or annexation, has many legal implications, and that it directly affects the rights of creditors in general, yet its impact on the rights of employees is greater.
