Public Admin Workers to Strike August 20-21
The Public Administration Employees Association in Lebanon is continuing its preparations for the warning strike and closure scheduled for August 20 and 21, 2026, in protest against the ongoing customs increases imposed under the guise of environmental reasons. The association considers these measures a means to impoverish citizens and employees amid difficult living conditions. It has called for an amendment to the salary law to restore the purchasing power to pre-crisis levels, as well as adjustments to transportation allowances and fuel prices. Additionally, it demands the implementation of a rotation system with 50% attendance at workplaces until the salary correction law is enacted. The association also announced its readiness to hold elections for representatives next October and confirmed that it will resort to greater escalation options if its demands are not promptly met. It warned of the possibility of an open strike and the closure of government offices if the government does not respond.
