BEIRUT: The union representing staff at Middle East Airlines (MEA) will strike for one hour on Wednesday, it announced on Tuesday. The syndicate will strike between 11 a.m. and midday in solidarity with the family of Youssef Sader, an MEA employee who was kidnapped Thursday morning near Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport. Three unidentified assailants allegedly bundled him into a sport utility vehicle before speeding away. The union urged all staff members to gather at the airport to protest his kidnapping. On Friday, the syndicate pledged to adopt "escalatory steps" if Sader was not released. It vowed a "major response against whoever thinks of attacking any employee with MEA, the company that has served the nation in dark times." - The Daily Star
