MPP TO DEMAND WAGE INCREASE

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The Mongolian People’s Party is planning to demand the State authorities to increase wage and pension of public employees by 30 percent before February. The party faction chairman S.Byambatsogt MP connected the reasons of the demand to the current wage level lagging behind a high inflation since the 2012 general increase in public official wages. During that time, the Government has been implementing many projects to stabilize the commodity price in the nation, but not receiving clear results, he said. The wage increase should vary according to public employment sectors, S.Byambatsogt MP said. ‘More attention should be paid to wages of public service employees such as middle school teachers and state hospital staffers’.
