The Workers Coordination Committee triumphs with a large participation of women || Newspapers (Arabic)

The Workers Coordination Committee scored a victory yesterday after 32 days of strike to which the government responded by transferring the new salary scales decree to the Parliament whilst introducing some amendments which have been met with some WCCC reservations.
Indeed and prior to the cabinet meeting of yesterday, the Coordination Committee led its grand march to the road leading to the presidential palace in Baabda despite various political attempts extended the previous nights to abort this initiative.  Thousands of women and men including teachers from the public and private sectors, supporters, Lebanese university staff, members of syndicates and civil activists joined the march.  The participation of women was highly visible as women insisted that mothers’ day is meaningless without meeting their rights.
