Trade Unions' Reactions to Proposed Freeze on Public Sector Promotions
April 20, 2025
Trade unions are strongly opposing the Finance Minister's proposal to freeze promotions in the public sector, claiming it would lead to serious issues. They argue that promotions are necessary for the smooth operation of public services. The warning about a return to 2013 measures has caused unrest within the public sector. The unions state that they will not accept the abolition of the 13th salary or the cost-of-living allowance.
