Unions reject govt's position on salaries

Friday, July 26, 2019

Unions have rejected a position paper brought by government regarding Performance Management and Delivery Unit (PEMANDU) Consultancy report. Mmegi has learnt that government proposed less than 10% increase in salaries for the public service, a proposal the union did not agree to.

The arrangement is similar to what government did for the armed forces.
