Delay in issuing revised pension notification
The main issue is the government's delay in officially issuing the revised pension scheme notification.
Without it, retirees can't access their benefits—something unions say is unfair and stressful for workers counting on that money.
The state has called the strike "misconduct" and rolled out a strict "No Work, No Pay" policy, so anyone joining in won't get paid during this period.
