The National Labour Commission (NLC) has directed the Public Services Workers Union (PSWU) to call off its strike action with immediate effect.
The directive was made on Wednesday, October 23, 2024 when the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) and PSWU appeared before the NLC.
The NLC had summoned the government team led by FWSC with the Ministry of Employment, Labour Relations and Pensions (MELRP) and Ministry of Finance on one hand, and PSWU on the other hand to appear before it over a labour dispute.
This was after it had received a notice from PSWU dated October 14, 2024 threatening to embark on an industrial action effective Monday, October 21, 2024 over their demands for two institution specific allowances for their members.
