why not increase all government & Private sector salaries. when cost of living goes up, it is for all sectors not only for the above mention.

why??? These institutions are running at a loss of millions every month. Their service is disgusting and totally inefficient! And yet they get a raise which us tax-payers have to pay for?

I thought these were running at a loss? Will they increase rates to compensate for this?

This not a salary increase; 18% increase of utility bills.

most of the employees in these organizations are politically appointed. Government has to give good salary to their people

You seem to think by increasing salaries for the private sector will cure all the problems, but do not forget it is the private sector that is the engine of the SL economy. Can you justify such a raise and be competitive with other Asian countries like Bangladesh, China, Pakistan,etc? I fully agree with your views, but it is not as straight forward as you think. For an invester it is not possible to remain in business while increasing production costs. Take garment industry as an example. If salaries were increased (quite reasonable) this has to be reflected in the cost of product? There is a danger these industries will become uncompetitive 'cos there are others who would enter the vacuum left by Srilanka. Ultimately it will lead to massive job losses. Simple economy. Leave the private sector alone. No Govt interference please.

This is very unfortunate. Selected govt. institutes because they enjoy monopolistic power have the ability to win their demands inspite of being inefficient. The people have to bear the cost by paying increased direct and indirect taxes or bills. How long can the economy last? You can't squeeze the people forever. JVP will be the winner. Already university students are agitating.
Unions will destroy a country.
