Low-wage civil servants to strike over delays in raises

Low-wage civil servants belonging to the Isotita union will go on a two-hour strike on Friday over delays in upgrading their pay grades.

The strike will be held from 1pm to 3pm.

The union said that in a letter sent on March 6 to the finance minister, it had pointed out “the significant injustices and omissions contained in the regulation for the accelerated advancement of low-paid civil servants and permanent employees and called for their immediate correction.”

The union said it does not rule out the possibility of escalating the measures if there is no update with a specific timetable from the government on their raises.
