No joy for civil servants

The civil servants’ umbrella body, the Apex Council, yesterday met government representatives in a bid to resolve their salary impasse, but came out empty-handed after government failed for the umpteenth time to table a better offer.

Apex Council president Tendai Chikowore told NewsDay government workers yesterday submitted a new salary structure demand with the minimum salary pegged at $567 per month.

Civil servants gave government a 14-day ultimatum to respond to their fresh demands.
