The General Syndicate of Employees and Workers of International Wire and Wireless Communications in Lebanon (Ogero) has announced a “Day of Rage and Rejection,” scheduled for Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at 10:00 am at the main center in Bir Hassan.
In a statement, the syndicate emphasized its key demands, calling them non-negotiable:
- Amendment of Article 49: Any transfer must include legislative protections to safeguard employees’ rights.
- Protection of Compensation: Workers’ compensations are a “red line” and must not disappear, especially the benefits established under Law 161, which were already threatened by past financial losses.
- Permanent Employment for Day Laborers: The syndicate is demanding a comprehensive, final solution for temporary workers.
- Health Security: The continuity of the health fund must be ensured.
The statement warned that, without a binding written charter, any transfer could become a “destructive gamble” for the telecommunications sector.
The syndicate called on all employees to attend, describing their participation as “the strongest barrier against arbitrary privatization and an uncertain future.”
The message was clear: “Our appointment is Tuesday… either a law that protects and preserves rights, or a full confrontation.”
