As far as labour is concerned, we didn't have a consensus in this meeting.
“That’s the principle of negotiation. You don’t put the partner, ask them to negotiate under gunpoint.
“The prayers of the NLC is that we go back to status quo, negotiate, think of alternatives and all the effects and how to manage the effects this action is going to have on the people, if it is an action that must take off. “The subsidy provision has been made up to the end of June.
