… As Gov’t begins payments of salary arrearsThe nationwide strike action by the Civil Servants Union of Liberia, which began yesterday, might end soon as government has begun to disburse outstanding salary arrears. “We are not deterred by the turnout and will press on if the government fails to meet our demands,” said Moibah K. Johnson, president of the Civil Servants’ Union of Liberia. “Because of the strike, the government has now begun the payments of civil servants salary arrears but not in full compliance. We requested down-payments of all outstanding salaries, but the government is only paying for two months when they owed more than four to five months,” he said. The Civil Servants Union of Liberia is the mother body of all government employees across the country.
