Public service pay rise is undeserved

I work in a government department and I am very happy the strike is over.

I work in a government department and I am very happy the strike is over.

Was it worth it taking to the streets? I don't think it was a sensible thing to do.

I don't think we deserve the salary increment at all.

It's only a handful of dedicated employees that strives to better the living conditions of our people. The rest are just cheque collectors.

Let us prove that we deserve the increment. Let us make a pact that we shall provide adequate services to the people who bestowed their trust upon us.

Politicians won't provide it, so it is up to us to make the dream of a better life for all a reality.
