The six-point agreement between the Federal Government and organized labour, that aborted the strike read , AThe Federal Government agrees to comply with the New National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2011. The Federal Government shall conclude negotiations with Labour on the implementation of the New National Minimum Wage not later than 31st July, 2011. Detailed

The arrears of the new wage with effect from 23rd March 2011 will be paid not later than 31st August, 2011.
