The Department of Public Service and Administration moved to pour cold water on threats that the Public Servants' Association (PSA) strike on Thursday would disrupt public services, saying it will be a normal day where government employees are expected to be at their posts during working hours.
The PSA, demanding a 6.5% wage increase, said it would embark on a "full-blown strike" on Thursday in the public service after wage talks in the Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council (PSCBC) reached a deadlock.
The 235 000-strong PSA strike was expected to cause disruptions to Home Affairs offices, transport departments, and border posts. However, the department said it expected all public services to continue as normal on the day of the planned strike.
