UCC's Gharib says roadmap to official certificate is approval of wage scale

2^min

Hanna Gharib, a member of the Union Coordination Committee, said on Monday that the roadmap to the official certificate is the endorsement of the series of ranks and salaries.

"If we backtrack on our decision [to boycott the correction of official exams], we will no longer be able to call for our rights," Gharib said.

"Attempts to undermine the UCC provide support for the Islamic State since the committee symbolizes moderation in the country," he added.

The Union Coordinating Committee has been on a continuous sit-in calling on the authorities to pass the pay scale, which stipulates a wage hike.

The decision to revive movements came as a result of the failure of the Joint Parliamentary Committees to resolve the dispute on the Value Added Tax in a proposal aimed at securing the funds for the salary scale that was approved by former Prime Minister Najib Mikati's cabinet.

Former PM Mikati's cabinet endorsed the new salary scale for public employees in 2012, ending a long dispute that had triggered several sit-ins and strikes held by the UCC.

Former President Michel Sleiman signed the decree mid-June 2013 and it was referred to the Joint Parliamentary Committees for further examination, however the law was never passed to parliament.
