Strike Settled
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.
The employees will be at their desks effective Monday. They are relieved to be going back as that will allow them to catch up on their sleep.
