Most Teacher unions have been on strike over their COLA with many others including health workers threatening to lay down their tools.
However, sources say a meeting between the leadership of the labour unions and the Fair Wages and salaries commission 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.
