“We have observed a spate of trade union actions demanding rights of their membership. While respecting and reserving the right to resort to trade union action, one should review the root cause(s) of this trend,” the AMS said. Commenting on the privileges enjoyed as public servants during this period, the AMS admitted that their segment of society has been the least affected by the pandemic and resultant economic impact. “Our salaries were paid in full whether we worked, worked from home or did not work. Therefore, the AMS strongly believes that being the least affected segment of the society, public servants should be more mindful of their duty over rights.
