MCSA calls off strike, to submit a petition instead

Maldives Civil Servants’ Association (MCSA) has called off the nationwide civil servants’ strike planned for April 20, deciding instead to submit a petition with its concerns, Vnews has reported today.
Quoting MCSA President, the report said the decision was made to prevent any difficulties it may cause to the public after consulting with senior members of the association and relevant government offices.
The petition which is being signed through social media website Facebook, is reported to have already received the signatures of fifty percent government employees.
It is expected to be submitted to the relevant offices on April 20 – the date previously set for the strike.
