The Death of Lebanon’s “Labor Spring”? | Al Akhbar English

"The Lebanon’s Union Coordination Committee (UCC) will soon be back in the streets. It won’t fall for the government’s trick of approving the salary scale without actually sending it to parliament. However, the committee’s leadership knows that the outcomes will be negative if it stands alone in the battle.

The Economic Committees went silent. The salaries scale is no longer a calamity threatening the country. On the contrary, some representatives of those committees are promising rejuvenation, despite the fact that the government decided on March 21, for the second time, to send the draft bill to parliament.

Mohammed Choucair, head of the trade chambers, announced that hotels were filled immediately after the announcement of the resignation of prime minister Najib Mikati. He indicated that occupancy rates increased from 35 percent to 70 percent and 80 percent in just two weeks."
