Al-Asmar requests extra salaries, opposes TVA hike

Here's the translated text into English, maintaining the tone and meaning: The head of the General Labor Union, Bechara Asmar, emphasized that the Lebanese government should disburse an additional six months' worth of salaries to public sector workers to help them cope with the difficult economic conditions. He also stressed the importance of including workers in public institutions in health and social security assistance. Additionally, Asmar rejected the proposed 1% increase in the Value Added Tax (VAT), considering that it would negatively impact prices and low-income families. He called for policies that ease the burdens on citizens. Minister Yassine Jaber expressed his interest in the union's demands and assured that efforts are underway to find solutions that protect workers' rights while considering social circumstances.
