The negotiations between the Government and Organised Labour over a proposed 60 per cent increase in the base pay of public sector workers have been suspended till further notice after both parties failed to reach an agreement.

Organized labour is demanding a 60 per cent increase in the base pay on the single spine salary structure to compensate for an unstable economic climate and high inflation.

The government in the latest round of talks tabled a 15 per cent increase, but the proposal was rejected by organized labour.
