The National Labour Commission (NLC) has directed the Public Services Workers Union (PSWU) to call off their strike action with immediate effect.
The directive follows a close door engagement on Wednesday, October 23, 2024 with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) and PSWU.
The unions began the industrial action on 21 October over government’s failure to meet its demands for institutions specific allowances despite several attempts to resolve the issue.
However the NLC aside ordering PSWU to end its strike, further directed the parties to resume negotiations on the two institution specific allowances by October 31, 2024 and communicate the outcome of the meeting to the commission by November 6, 2024.
The Commission directed the parties to negotiate in good faith to address the impasse.
