The workers embarked on the indefinite strike on May 10 barely few weeks to the inauguration of the Governor Caleb Mutfwang Administration due to backlog of salary arrears and non-implementation of all promotions by the outgone administration of Simon Lalong.
While the strike has been suspended, the union leadership said it will continue to monitor the resolution of challenges observed with the payment of the March 2023 salary.
