Government Policy Aims to Widen Poverty
The National Meeting of Public Sector Workers in Lebanon demonstrated its strong rejection of the government's refusal to approve the draft decree aimed at distributing the partial salary differences granted in February. These differences were issued under a legislative decree to be implemented. The participants viewed this as part of a systematic policy to impoverish employees and deplete their rights by delaying the disbursement of their entitlements through installments extending until 2027. The statement affirmed that the value of these differences has significantly lost its purchasing power due to the economic collapse and inflation. It also criticized the government for treating employees unjustly—imposing taxes and rapidly increasing fuel and service prices, and then delaying the payment of their rights. The meeting condemned the government policies characterized by a lack of transparency and poor management. It suggested that continued policy of procrastination and neglect of workers’ rights would lead to heightened union activism. The statement also accused the government of treating employees as the weaker link, attempting to blame them for delays and undermining trust in the state and its institutions.
