A handover ceremony was held between the old administrative body of the Regie’s Ex-Laborers League, headed by Michel Khoury, and the newly appointed body, headed by Rafic Sbeiti.
The Regie’s support of ex-laborers is one of the most important social achievements among similar Lebanese administrations. The League, through its care program, covers medical and hospitalization expenses for ex-staff.
T
he Ex-Laborers League was founded with the encouragement of the Regie's management for the purpose of securing medical services and medicine for retired staff and their families, as well as to provide moral and material assistance to members in need.
Approximately 800 elderly people are members of the League.
The League relies on subscriptions from members, donations and grants (from the Collaboration Fund, among others) and on assistance provided by the Regie’s administration.
