Several professional trade unions, spearheaded by the Government Medical Officers' Association (GMOA), are set to conduct a protest campaign today against what they deem as excessively high income taxes. The demonstration, scheduled to commence at 09:00 a.m. near the Parliament entrance, is expected to draw participation from trade unions representing various sectors, including engineers and bankers.
The Government Medical Officers' Association, a prominent union representing medical professionals, has taken a leading role in organizing the protest. The campaign is a response to the perceived burden imposed by the current income tax structure, affecting professionals across different fields.
Trade unions from diverse sectors, recognizing a shared concern over the impact of high income taxes on their members, have joined forces to voice their grievances. Engineers, bankers, and other professionals are expected to unite in a collective call for a review of the existing tax policies, citing the economic challenges faced by their members.
The demonstration aims to convey a message to policymakers, urging them to reconsider and potentially revise the income tax rates. Protesters argue that the current tax burden disproportionately affects professionals, hindering their financial well-being and economic contributions.
