A fourth meeting took place on Thursday between unions and the employer group ABBL, with both sides becoming further entrenched.
The ABBL is refusing to consider any possibility of salary increase or improvement, the two unions OGBL and LCBG write in a shared statement. But this is one of the main demands of the unions.
The ABBL even raised the possibility of scrapping the 13th month if no agreement could be found. The unions are adamant they will not allow for the health crisis to be used to take employees hostage and refuse them any salary increases over the next three years.
