Increase in transport and family benefits before workers' strike
The transportation allowance and family compensations in Lebanon were increased before the scheduled general strike, as the Minister of Labor signed an agreement to allocate 5 liters of gasoline daily to each worker, valued at approximately 720,000 Lebanese pounds. Additionally, family allowances were raised, increasing from 2.1 million to 3 million LBP for the spouse, and from 1.155 million to 1.6 million LBP for each child. These increases cover up to five children and are awaiting the issuance of a decree from the government. These measures aim to meet the demands of the unions and improve workers' living standards. The draft decree is expected to be presented to the board of the National Social Security Fund during the week, with the possibility that the unions may withdraw from the strike depending on negotiations with the government.
