Once again the government has shown they do not have a spine and give in to labor demands.. If they do this today and win, what will stop them from doing it again after a month. Salary increment happens on performance, not staging a protest! Elected officials needs to do what is right as opposed to personal gains from staying in power.

What is they demand the pay increase by 1 million? People in this country only know how to disrupt law and order. Never think of any contribution and gain benifits to the entire country

Very bad precedence. They should have gone into a negotiated settlement. Now every union will try to hinder the essential services for a pay rise. Essential services should be bard from strike action. However this is ape lankava. Banana republic.

That means if they did not protest they will not receive their demands. Couldn't the authority and the union do this in more dignified manner without causing inconvenience to the public.

There certainly have to be a political hand in it at the correct time.
