The South Sudan Workers Trade Union calls on the government to implement the increment of salaries for civil servants and working conditions at all levels.
The government failed to fully implement its promise of increasing wages of civil servants and not regulating private sector despite the worsening economic crisis facing the country, says George Paul Baya, Union Secretary for External Relations.
He calls on employers to respect the South Sudan Labour Laws in order to improve working conditions, Radio Bakhita reports.
The government has no resources to implement the pay increase due to reduced oil revenues, says Mary Hilary Wani Undersecretary in the Ministry of Labour and Public Service.
She says the government is working to diversify the non-oil sector in order to get more revenues to fund its activities.
The South Sudan government in January 2016 announced a 300 percent pay rise for all public employees in the country and also instructed the private sector to pay minimum wage of 2000 South Sudan Pounds.
