I am not for implementing the new wage scale proposed by the Unions but fire fighters have every right to protest and block roads. These men have been working and risking their lives for years for a miserable $200 monthly nothing in return. I don’t think it’s too much if they turn them into full employees and finance a much needed restructuring of the Civil Defense units and branches.
Civil Defense volunteers are not government employees who take bribes and do nothing all day. They volunteered to save lives and should not treated that way. If a salary increase is not feasible, they should be at least equipped with the proper tools to do their job.
Shouldn’t a volunteer, by nature, be unpaid? Perhaps (likely) I am missing something, but if they are to be paid then they should be made into full employees. If they remain volunteers then perhaps they would get other benefits but paying a volunteer seems to contradict the nature of a volunteer. That said, they do a job to help others at their own risk and they need to be respected and listened to.
my friend, they volunteer because in Lebanon , the failed state, theres no such thing as a fire department. the Civil Defense is the ONLY firefighting and rescue force covering all Lebanese territories . Civil Defense members do NOT get paid at ALL, and yet they are second only to the Army in terms of WORKING their asses off for the greater good. next time theres a car accident or explosion or even a fire , lets see who you gonna call.
Lebanon doesn’t have a fire department? And what about Beirut Fire Department (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqgntxXdHfE)?? There are also other professional fire departments in Lebanon, for example Saida and Tripoli municipal fire services.
However, some of the civil defence members are full-time employees, that means that not everybody doesn’t get paid at all. Anyway, it’s kinda strange that people who are willing to risk their lives can only participate in the rescue services as volunteers. They should be regulary paid for their hard work, they should have more professional training and get better equipment…
Najib , correct your post : Civil Defense members DO NOT GET PAID AT ALL. not 200$ not 50$.
