National Labour Commission grants CLOGSAG and government 1 week to resolve grievances

The National Labour Commission has granted additional one week for the Civil and Local Government Staff Association (CLOGSAG) and government to resolve their grievances.

According to the Commission, this decision was reached after government representatives appeared before it to request an extension to engage the leadership of CLOGSAG.

The leadership of CLOGSAG was not present at the premises of the National Labour Commission.

The government side, led by a representative from the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations appeared before the Commission.

The representative asked the Commission for an extension of time for government to continue engaging with CLOGSAG.

“We are engaging them, and they will come next week”.

The Director of Human Resource at the Labour Commission, Dr Bernice Welbeck said, the Commission agreed to grant the extension based on the commitment by government to resolve the grievances.

“Government, the respondent, actually came and prayed for extension of time so the case is adjourned to next week on 17th for reporting”.

She emphasised that, the Commission will wait for the parties to report back after the engagement.

“If they are engaging towards settlement, it’s fine what we want is results. If parties are talking, there are two parties in a dispute and if they have agreed to talk and they are talking and they need time to settle I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. After all the end result is that there should be settlement,” he said.

CLOGSAG is demanding the implementation of its new salary structure agreed on with government.
