“We are waiting to hear what will happen on Wednesday. We are going into that meeting full of confidence on Wednesday. We expect fairness, rule of law. We will look at the National Labour Commission exercising its powers by going to the Superior Courts to compel the government to comply with the directive that the NLC on its own volition came out with on the 2nd of May 2023.”
