The Union Haddiema Maghudin has registered an industrial dispute at all grades of the public service's general service.
The UHM's government workers' section said it had been insisted for several months on a review of the collective agreement for administrative grades such as clerks, executive officers, and principals.
The UHM said its proposals were presented in 2009 and government had not yet submitted its counter-proposals. "This means this category of workers are not getting the same treatment as other civil service employees, because their sectoral agreement is the same one negotiated in 2011."
