PEU likely to call off strike
The Public Employees Union is likely to call off their strike later today after successful talks with the Public Service Commission officials last Saturday.
PEU General Secretary, Pita Delana said they have accepted the 1% pay restoration and the rest to be paid after the revised budget in November.
Delana said the PSC has agreed that the retirement age of 60 be maintained together with the partnership agreement.
The Viti National Union of Taukei Workers is also prepared to accept the one percent pay restoration as it finalizes agreements with the PSC.
General Secretary Taniela Tabu confirms they are now finalizing the agreements.
Fijian Teachers Association President Tevita Koroi who is yet to receive the new proposal from the PSC said they are also willing to take the one percent as they had indicated earlier however they would like a specific timeframe for the restoration of the remaining 4%.
The PSC and the Unions hope to sign an agreement after the interim cabinet gives the green light after looking through it tomorrow.
