The Pharmacists’ Syndicate on Tuesday issued a statement warning that the draft gap law threatens the protection of union and pension fund deposits and infringes on long-established rights, representing decades of pharmacists’ labor.
Speaking to Houna Loubnan, Pharmacists’ Union President Abdul Rahman Marqabawi stressed that the union’s funds, held in a pension fund at banks, belong collectively to all pharmacists and should not be treated as individual accounts. “We were waiting for justice for pharmacists in this matter, and we will not accept this,” he said.
Marqabawi underscored that the union’s position on the bill is “clear” and indicated that the statement is only a first step. He revealed plans to convene other unions soon “to launch a unified movement for all free unions in defense of pension rights.”
