Public Sector Union Announces Strike Next Friday
The article discusses the demands of the Public Sector Employees' Union in Lebanon for an increase and adjustment of transportation allowances and other benefits allocated to them. This comes in response to rising fuel prices and the erosion of the value of the current allowance, which is 1,500,000 Lebanese pounds, and no longer reflects the actual transportation costs. The union calls for a fair increase in the allowance, to be periodically coordinated with changes in fuel prices and inflation rates. It also demands a review of the fixed allowance amount and the adoption of a new series of salary scales and grades that would correct wages and ensure employee stability. The union has scheduled a general strike for Friday, September 25, 2026, warning of escalation if their demands are not met, asserting that employees' basic rights require immediate action.
