The Public Services Workers’ Union (PSWU) has suspended its strike action following a directive from the National Labour Commission (NLC).
On Wednesday, October 23, 2024, the NLC instructed the union to call off the strike immediately.
This directive came after the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) and the PSWU appeared before the NLC to discuss the ongoing labor dispute.
The National Labour Commission (NLC) summoned the government team, led by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC), along with the Ministry of Employment, Labour Relations, and Pensions (MELRP), the Ministry of Finance, and representatives from PSWU to mediate the dispute.
PSWU had previously issued a notice on October 14, 2024, threatening to begin an industrial action on Monday, October 21, 2024, over demands for two specific allowances for its members.
