The Government of Shalampax has reached an agreement with the Shalampax Civil Service Union to end the 13-month-old strike of government employees. The union members ratified the agreement in a vote today.
The government agreed to 100 percent of the union’s original demands. That’s not surprising as the union had, from the beginning, voluntarily offered to accept a 10 percent wage cut, with no new perks or job guarantees and no reduction in “work” hours.
A government spokesperson said that the strike could have been ended much earlier, but nobody realized that the government’s employees had been on strike.
