Today's press and journalists, tomorrow other unions
The article addresses the issue of establishing professional unions, particularly the Bar Association in Lebanon, and the risks this poses to public freedoms and professional organization. It explains that creating new unions, as outlined in the new Media Law, raises concerns about repeating chaotic models and weakening existing unions, such as the Bar Association, which was established before Greater Lebanon and has evolved over decades into a unified and effective framework. The article highlights the practical difficulties faced by unions, such as notification procedures and legal processes, and warns that the increasing number of unions threatens the unity and balance among professionals. It also cautions against populist use of civil society demands to create loyal unions, considering such actions as undermining the principles of public freedoms and leading to political and professional chaos. The author emphasizes that a single, unified union is the safeguard for independence and integrity in professional work, and that any move towards multiplicity could ignite chaos and dismantle the strength of organized unions.
