Ghassan Ghusn is the chairperson of the leadership of labor unions in Lebanon. Today, he announced that the labor leadership will launch protests against the (horrific) economic plans of the Sanyurah government (formulated by World Bank/IMF--in fact, they were drafted in English and then translated into Arabic to be released to the public). But Ghassan Ghusn is a mere tool of the Amal movement. I met him for the first time last summer in the office of the Minister of Labor; I was never impressed with him, and was impressed even less having met him. The Minister of Labor told me that I would like "the work of Ghassan Ghusn." To which, I said: No, I don't like his work one bit. I looked at Ghusn and told him: "You have been dormant all throughout the Hariri-Syrian intelligence years, permitting the labor unions to be domesticated by Ghazi Kan`an and Rafiq Hariri." He said that they will pay more attention to socio-economic issues. He will only do...what he is told. And Hizbullah has just discovered the importance of socio-economic justice having ignored it for more than decade. For all the long years of Hariri-Sanyurah injustices, Hizbullah stood by while the most cruel forms of capitalism were imposed on Lebanon, with the support of Syrian mukhabarat, which--Hariri made sure--profited form the arrangements. And the Sanyurah-Hariri privatizations are not like any privatization plans that you may know: they don't sell a state venture and open the service for competion. Oh, no. They sell a profitable state enterprise (like the Middle East Airline) and sell it at a loss to one monopolizing company--always linked to a son or uncle of one of the ruling elements.
