The whole Shorthand/Audio Typist grade firmly believe that their existing salary is not sufficient nough to provide a true and meaningful carcer salary, that the policies of 'equal pay' and 'ay for the job' have not been applied to our grade; for there should not be at maximum, the huge salary gap of 40 per cent when compared with other grades with similar academic qualification and responsibilities; that the Shorthand/Audio Typists, the Civil Servants of your cellency, have long been suffered from financial loss and job dissatisfaction.
