GOVERNMENT & UNIONS FINALLY AGREE

Cde Oreeditse Nyatso

After months of intense negotiations marred by bad faith and injustice, the 2025/2026 salary talks between the 5+1 cooperating trade unions and the Directorate of Public Service Management (DPSM) have finally concluded — marking an end torment by DPSM.

The two parties have reached an agreement that will see A3 to A2 salary scales receive a Housing and Upkeep Allowance of P653.00, while A1 to D1 scales will receive P400.00. This outcome, while modest in numbers, represents a victory for collective bargaining and the unity of public sector workers. Throughout the negotiations, unions remained firm in their demand for a fair and transparent process that respects the principles of social dialogue and economic justice.
