Azour, in a radio interview, said prime minister Fouad Siniora's ruling majority government has been considering a pay raise since the beginning of this year.
It is not the general strike called for by the General Federation of Labor Unions (GFLU) and set for next Wednesday that has led the government to consider correcting the wage schedule , Azour explained.
He accused the GFLU of seeking to topple dialogue between employers and workers by demanding tripling the minimum wage.
The government is to tackle a pay raise bill next week, he said
