Union Extends Shutdown Over Gasoline Demands
The Public Administration Employees Union calls on the government to issue a decision to provide each employee with 10 liters of gasoline daily for each working day, protesting against the unfairness in considering employees’ rights, especially given the rising fuel prices which have reached approximately $32 per barrel. The union notes that achieving this demand would cost the state treasury no more than 2,500 billion LBP annually, even though the state budget exceeds 614 trillion LBP. It announces its continued strike every Friday and plans to organize a sit-in in Beirut, with threats of further escalation steps if the government does not respond to their demands promptly.
