Lebanese Trade Unions Oppose Card Restrictions
The article addressed trade union criticisms expressed by the Lebanese Workers' Union and the Telecommunications Workers' Union against the decision to prohibit "charging days and dollars" for prepaid cards. They considered this move to constitute a new economic blockade on Lebanese citizens, restricting their options in using communication services, particularly affecting low-income individuals and students. The unions clarified that this decision could negatively impact consumers' rights and increase the suffering of the poor. They warned of exceeding the legal powers of the regulatory authority for communications and called for genuine reforms to reduce costs and improve service, rather than imposing additional taxes on citizens. Additionally, they urged the government to focus on updating the network and lowering prices while respecting consumers’ rights, warning against repeating past mistakes that led to public anger. The unions also demanded accountability from officials responsible for financial evasion and revenue leakage.
