Striking labour unions have called off their industrial action after the government agreed on a 15% Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) on their base pay Thursday.
Many Teacher unions have been on strike over their COLA with many others including health workers threatening to lay down their tools.
A meeting between the leadership of the labour unions and the Fair Wages and salaries commission, however, agreed on a 15% allowance of the base pay instead of the 20% being demanded by the worker unions.
Per the agreement, the payment of the 15% COLA will take retrospective effect beginning from July 1,2022.
