The economic bodies and General Labor Union in Lebanon have threatened to hold a strike in Lebanon in wake of the ongoing delay in forming a new government, which is having a devastating impact on the country.
They had threatened to take to the street if the cabinet is not formed by the end October.
Now that the deadline has ended, the economic bodies held a meeting to announce an upcoming sit-in.
The General Labor Union was noticeably absent from the meeting, raising questions that it may not have been invited.
Economic bodies head Mohammed Shucair told Asharq Al-Awsat that the its meeting was restricted to its members. Another meeting will be held later to coordinate future steps.
