Employees of Sidon’s governmental hospital Wednesday held a demonstration in front of the entrance to the emergency wing, marking the second day of their latest strike to protest the delayed implementation of the salary scale law.
The protest was held in compliance with a decision from the Public Hospital Workers Syndicate in Lebanon.
The hospital’s employees have closed the hospital’s clinics repeatedly in routine strikes demanding a pay hike, but measures are consistently taken to keep the emergency room open.
The salary scale law – passed in June 2017 – stipulates raises in the salaries of public sector workers.
The salary scale, also known as Law 46, has seen gradual and inconsistent implementation.
