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.
