The workers are also demanding payment of leave bonuses, gratuities to retirees that have stagnated since 2021 and the release of promotion letters for the years 2021 and 2022.

Some of the inscriptions on their cards read: “We want to meet with the Governor and not his representative”, “Our full salary is not enough for our transport to our place of work”
