With civil servants bracing themselves for a much publicised pay rise, the council workers have been told that there will be no increase in their case.
Council workers who have a two months salary arrear situation are plotting to down tools should they miss out on the increment negotiated under the public service collective agreement agreement.
The workers have given their representatives up to Friday to state whether the workers would get their pay rise or not.
Local government minister Emelyn Kabanshi had promised that the salary arrears would be cleared but the workers’ paymnets have lagged behind.
