Líbano - Hanna Gharib replaced during strike (2013)

Mar Elias Batina Private School in Beirut replaced Hanna Gharib, head of the Union Coordination Committee, who was leading the teacher’s strike in March 2013. On 1 April 2013, school management decided Hanna Gharib could continue to teach at the school. Teachers had gone on a strike demanding pay increases in the public sector. The Lebanese Forces Department of Workers and Employees condemned the school’s initial decision and stated this was an attack against the entire labour movement.
