Public Sector Union Opposes Tax Funding for Rights
The Public Sector Associations (military and civilian) in Lebanon emphasized the government's obligation to implement commitments related to improving salaries and pension allowances, including a gradual increase of up to six times starting in 2027. The goal is to recover a significant portion of their value before the 2019 financial crisis. They also stressed the importance of clearly and transparently including these increases in the 2027 budget, rejecting the idea of funding these rights through additional taxes or fees. Instead, they believe funding should come from an reform plan that restores the nation's squandered resources and ensures salary improvements without placing extra tax burdens on citizens. Furthermore, they confirmed that these increases are corrective steps, not a full restoration of rights, and are aimed at strengthening social and economic stability in the country.
