Fiji government hopes to avoid public service strike

Fiji's interim government will not be drawn on what it will do in response to a possible public service strike.

The Public Service Association voted on Friday to strike over the government's decision to cut all civil servants' pay by five per cent from March 8.

The military has said it will intervene if there is any strike action by any union. But Fiji's interim Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum says there could still be a peaceful resolution.
