President Bouteflika to raise civil service pay
on Tuesday, August 28 @ 19:00:00 CDT
Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika is going to raise civil services salaries by more than 50 percent for over 1 million and 400,000 employees, according to trade union leader Abdelmajid Sidi Said.
“President Bouteflika insists on raising the salaries of civil service employees in a very considerable way,” Sidi Said told Echorouk.
A meeting between the government and the trade union is expected to be held next week to announce the civil service pay raise by more than 50 percent.
President Bouteflika has already rejected a proposal of the government to raise employees’ salaries of 30 to 40 percent.
The president believed that this raise rate does not meet Algerian purchasing power.
“President Abdelaziz Bouteflika is personally following this issue because he wants to settle the situation for good and improve the Algerian purchasing power as soon as possible,” said Sidi Said.
The new civil service pay raise will come into force starting from January 2008 on request of President Bouteflika, said well-informed sources.
