Salary issues of public sector workers can be addressed through the budget for next year, said finance state minister Ranjith Siyambalapitiya.
Giving solutions to a particular sector only will create further problems, he has told Neth News.
His response to increasing the executive grade officer allowance to Rs. 25,000 was as follows:
More than 200 state sector trade unions are resorting to strikes and sicknote campaigns to demand solutions to their salary anomalies and allowance issues.
The cabinet is expected to adopt stern action against the strikers if they refuse to return to work.
