Public sector strike over retroactive reforms

The Public Sector Workers' Union, which includes both military and civilian employees, announced a widespread strike starting Monday morning in protest against the government's decision to installment payment of owed financial entitlements resulting from retroactive adjustments. This decision contradicts the board of opinion of the State Consultative Council, which affirmed that installment payments are not permissible. Spokespersons emphasized that the law mandates full payment of these entitlements and considered that the installment plan threatens the rights of employees and retirees, as well as undermines the ongoing effort to improve their salaries. It was noted that salary enhancements were gradually approved, increasing by up to 50% relative to their 2019 levels, starting January 2027. The protesters called for an immediate reversal of the decree, holding the government responsible for any repercussions. They also issued a warning of escalating actions until this violation is rectified. The strike aims to defend employees' rights and affirm that rights are non-negotiable and cannot be paid in installments, emphasizing that they are integral to the rule of law and the dignity of workers.
