| Summary: | This article examines state-labor relations in post civil war Lebanon. It covers the period between the coming to power of Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri in October 1992, and the government-orchestrated defeat of labor leader Ilyas Abu Rizq in the General Confederation of Labor (CGTL) elections of 24 April 1997. This period was characterized by repeated confrontations between government and labor over a wide range of socioeconomic and political issues. Despite the removal of the militant labor leadership in 1997, most of the issues dividing government and labor have remained unresolved, thus setting the stage for a future round of confronta- tions. |
