Ogero Employees Pledge to Continue Strike
Employees of the state-run telecommunications company Ogero announced in a press conference on Tuesday the continuation of their strike over austere budget measures proposed in the state budget.
"We raise the voice high. State failures keep accumulating and burdening citizens after the disruption of a number of service sectors," protesters said.
For his part, head of the General Labor Confederation, Beshara el-Asmar, hailed the General Assembly's decision to continue the strike.
Asmar praised President Michel Aoun and Speaker Nabih Berri's “responsiveness”; however, he asked Prime Minister Saad Hariri to be “more responsive to the strikes.”
