The Union Coordination Committees said that the decision of the Constitutional Council came to confirm that the taxes are not related solely to the pay scale.
The committee called on Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil to issue a decision to immediately release the salaries and wages of retirees without any delay, adding that any delay in paying these salaries based on the new scale, will be met with unprecedented measures.
The UCC declared that it will call for a general strike on October 2nd in case these salaries were not paid at the end of the month based on the new law.
