The third state sector strike is postponed
The National Conciliator submitted on Sunday 27 April a new conciliation proposal in an effort to resolve the situation with the state sector collective agreement. JHL’s Union Council meets on Monday 28 April to decide on approving or rejecting the proposal.
The state sector strike that has been announced for 8 and 9 May is postponed by two weeks because the Office for the Government as Employer has referred the strike to the National Dispute Impact Assessment Board.
Thank you to all JHL members who have participated in the first and second state sector strike!
