45% pay hike is much more lucrative than the pay hikes any of the Blue chip conglomerates would give or even afford.

Tel them all to resign & seek jobs in the ME countries. Employ fresh hands. You need some one like our ex President RP to do this. Ane mehama thanhawak! Ane mehama asawak!

Do they really think that this country is the "Boodalay" of their father and mother to put forward such unreasonable demands. After all, what is their contribution to make these organizations profitable?

All others must ask the same 25% increase.....
Go for it !

This 25% is for three years and that means 8.33% per year, government is not telling that. Other public servants got 10%. so why not CEB.CPC and NWS&DB?
