Public sector unions threaten strike action
Healthcare, education, and grant payments may soon grind to a halt.
That’s as public servants prepare to strike over unresolved salary increases for the last financial year.
Eight unions are threatening to strike as the state refuses to meet their 10% pay hike demand.
They have been mobilizing members after serving the government with a notice last week.
The unions also skipped Friday’s Special Council meeting with the government.
The meeting was meant to kick-start negotiations for the 2023/2024 financial year.
They say they can not begin new wage talks while last year’s issues are not yet resolved.
