It further claimed the government had come up with the monthly pay package for workers after reaching an understanding to that effect with some trade unions who have already detached themselves from the protest. Stating that the deal was against interests of workers, the statement said, "We will be forced to shut down all factories and industries across the country if our demand is not met in the next five day.”
