By Sandun A.JayasekeraThe government needs time to grant the demands made by University academics for a salary increase in less than six months after budgetary salary increase for public servants and may pose problems for the government, President Mahinda Rajapaksa observed today.
President Rajapaksa made these observations when he met vice chancellors and deans to discuss the salary increase demands by university academics at Temple Trees.
“The government has acted respectfully on the issue with university academics. The government would pay attention to reduce the time frame needed to purchase a duty free vehicle by university academics and other benefits,” President Rajapaksa stressed.
If trade unions adhere to the non-confrontational and non-violent strategies accepted to the democratic way life, they can win their demands from any government, he said.
Commenting on the dispute, President Rajapaksa said certain opposition political parties are using the issue to create a confrontation between the government and the university academics but the government would was not ready to bow down to undue pressure.

Take time and subside the issue !!

Cut down the Tamashas, and pay the University Teacher a decent salary in line with international standards. Mind you they are academically qualified unlike the MP's, who are not even graduates.

Modaya Tuesday, 24 May 2011 11:06 AM
What I understand from the news is that the university teachers are demanding for the implementation of the salary proposal mutually agreed with the government in 2008 (three years ago). So, why the government need another six months to study the same issue again???
