They told us that a lot of work has been done with regards to consultations with the Office of the President.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They told us that the matter was getting attention at the highest level,&#8221; Mrs Chikowore said.<\/p>\n<p>She, however, said the workers made it clear to Government representatives that they were expecting the consultations to be completed as a matter of urgency.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We reminded Government representatives that we are in June and thus we expect their consultations to be completed as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We therefore call on our members to be patient as we give them time to consult, but we are expecting feedback very soon,&#8221; Mrs Chikowore said.<\/p>\n<p>A senior official at the Ministry of Finance, who spoke on condition of anonymity, yesterday said consultations were going on, indicating that there could be an increment for Government workers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Consultations within Government are currently under-way over the issue of civil servants&#8217; salaries. I cannot say how much is involved, but I am sure there will be something for them,&#8221; the source said.<\/p>\n<p>Efforts to get a comment from the head of Government in the JNC, Mr Prince Mupazviriho, were fruitless as his phone went unanswered.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>See the original post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201106020003.html\" title=\"Govt Pay Talks Near Fruition\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Govt Pay Talks Near Fruition<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> 1 June 2011 CIVIL servants will have to wait a bit longer before knowing how much they are going to earn after the Joint Negotiating Council yesterday failed to come up with any figures. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-434563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
