Beating the salary revision drum 15 Apr 2021 / 20:51 H. EVERY time a general election is round the corner, Cuepacs, the umbrella body of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services, will be beating the drums for salary revision for civil servants. With the general election highly expected well before the five-year term of the federal government ends in two years – the popular prediction is that this is an election year – Cuepacs is again beating the drums. And more often than not, the government of the day would accede to such a “demand” because civil servants account for an important voting bloc, or vote bank.
