Parliament staff members say that under the new salary revision proposed by the government, their allowances have been reduced from seventy percent to thirty percent. This has caused serious unrest among the parliament staff members. It is reported that they are preparing to embark on a trade union action in the next few days. Parliament staff members have already informed their superiors of their problem.
Due to the lack of overtime allowances for parliament staff members and the disparity in salaries, several previous governments have continuously given these special allowances to parliament staff members.
It is also learned that in the current situation, a strike action by parliament staff members against these salary cuts is scheduled to be initiated next week.
