Al-Asmar Meets Jaber on Public Sector Issues
The head of the General Labor Union in Lebanon, Beshara Asmar, confirmed that the meeting with the Minister of Finance addressed important demands, including the necessity of disbursing the six additional salaries for workers in the public sector and providing the necessary allocations for them. It also included ensuring that employees in public institutions and independent agencies are covered by practice allowances to achieve fairness, as well as allocating funds to the Lebanese University Mutual Aid Fund to ensure health and social coverage. He also emphasized that the union opposes increasing the value-added tax (VAT) rate by 1% under current circumstances, as this would lead to higher prices and harm low-income groups and the middle class. Financial health and social demands were the main focus of the meeting, with Asmar stressing the importance of making practical decisions that contribute to protecting workers' rights and improving their social conditions amid the economic challenges.
