Reuters: Tanzania says planned civil service strike illegal
DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters) – Tanzania said on Friday that a strike by civil servants planned for later this month over delays in salary payments was illegal as there was no dispute in the first place.
The Trade Union Congress of Tanzania (TUCTA) has called a three-day strike by government workers from August 25 over what it says are delays paying wages arising from an average 24 percent pay rise that was backdated to January.
“That strike is illegal, and if it happens, we will take the necessary action against those who participate in it,” Hawa Abdulrahman Ghasia, Minister for Public Service Management in the President’s office, told a news conference.
