Lebanon bids to please striking public sector employees with pay rise, social assistance

BEIRUT: Political observers fear a strike by Lebanon’s public sector employees that started a month ago will turn into civil disobedience if it is not dealt with properly, amid government efforts to address their grievances. The heads of the administrative units in the Ministry of Education and Higher Education announced that they, too, would join the strike by Monday.
