Employees at the electricity authority (EAC) started a two-hour work stoppage on Thursday at 7.30am in a bid to pressure management and the government to meet their demands.
They want restoration of their salaries – cut in 2012 in an austerity drive — following a decision of the administrative court and to keep their private healthcare insurance despite the implementation of the national health scheme.
“Regrettably we are witnessing a deliberate and systematic drive to break down earnings and benefits earned over the course of decades. The finance ministry is the main protagonist of this drive,” read a joint statement issued by the four main unions.
Another grievance is the government’s intention to reinstate a dividends policy by which the EAC would again be required to divert part of its surpluses to the treasury.
