Mikati to teachers: give up strike and get to work now


NNA - Give up the strike and get back to work now, Prime Minister Najib Mikati implored Lebanese teachers and civil servants today. He vowed to take up the salary scale issue at the Cabinet during the last week of its March session.



He warned visiting teachers' representatives against unforetold economic givens prone to torpedo all economic growth in the event of salary scale being approved now. The prime minister stressed the necessity for an in-depth scrutinizing of the scale. He alluded to his retracting from previous promises made to the teachers last June in that conditions have drastically changed ever since. Mikati urged teachers to appreciate the actual gravity of the economic situation in a bid to push them back to work. He indicated that the impending salary scale is negotiable to safeguard against any negative implications for the national currency.
