Canaan water company staff call off strike
Casual workers at the Canaan water company in South Sudan s capital city Juba, on Wednesday, resumed work after they struck a deal with the company.
On Monday, over 200 casual workers at the company laid-down their tools citing low wages and poor working conditions.
The management of Canaan on Wednesday resolved to increase the daily wages of the casual workers from 1,200 SSP to 1,500 SSP per day to meet the current economic challenges in the country. However, the employees say the amount is still not enough.
The workers initially demanded an increment in their daily wages from 1,200 SSP to 3,000 SSP.
