The 5+1 cooperating Unions have officially presented their petition to the Minister for State President, Hon. Moeti Caesar Mohwasa. The petition highlighted long-standing concerns about the working conditions of government employees.
The unions stressed the lack of salary increments as one of their main grievances. They urged the government to act on their concerns, stating that the current wage stagnation has negatively affected workers across the public service.
Upon receiving the petition, Minister Mohwasa thanked the unions for engaging in a peaceful and organized manner. He acknowledged their right to voice concerns and assured them that his office maintains an open-door policy for future discussions.
The Minister emphasized that the government remains committed to the P4000 wage bill, which is part of ongoing efforts to improve the welfare of public servants. He encouraged continued cooperation between the unions and the government, pointing out that significant work still lies ahead to address challenges in public service working conditions.
This engagement between the 5+1 cooperating Unions and the Ministry signals an important step in ongoing dialogue. Workers continue to push for better terms, while government highlights its commitment to gradual improvements through structured engagement.
