    Shafaq News/ Hundreds of employees of Iraqi state departments and institutions demonstrated today, Saturday, in front of the fortified Green Zone in central Baghdad, demanding an amendment to the salary scale.              
    Employee Wissam Ahmed told Shafak News Agency, "We went out today to demand that the government and parliament amend the salary scale and address the differences in classes for state employees."                                       
    He added, "There is inequality and injustice in employees' salaries," indicating that "an employee in the Council of Ministers, Parliament, and the three presidencies receives a salary of 3 million dinars per month, while someone of the same rank in another ministry receives only 500,000 dinars."                    
    For his part, the employee in the Ministry of Education, Ahmed Munim, said in an interview with Shafaq News Agency, "The demonstration is not the first, and it will not be the last for all employees to demand the establishment of a new salary scale based on justice and fairness, in which the amendment of risk allowances is also taken into account," adding that "the demonstration committee met a month ago with Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani to amend the salary scale without reaching a solution."                                                    
    Munim continued, saying, "The demonstration will turn into a comprehensive sit-in if our demands are not met."
    Earlier today, Iraqi parliament member Raed Al-Maliki held the Council of Ministers responsible for not amending the salary scale for employees and workers in the public sector, renewing his demand for the federal government to send the Federal Civil Service Council Law for the purpose of legislating it.
    Al-Maliki said in a joint press conference held with a number of his colleagues and members of the House of Representatives, "There is another legal path related to the salary scale, which is done through amending the Federal Civil Service Law or legislating a new Civil Service Law."
    He explained that "we had in the Iraqi parliament a draft federal civil service law that combines four laws, including the salary scale law," stressing that "the Council of Ministers withdrew this service law, and it was not returned to parliament again despite repeated demands from the representatives." 
    Al-Maliki pointed out that "the issue of amending the salary scale law is not with the House of Representatives and the delay is not from it, but the entire issue is with the Iraqi government because it has a financial aspect," stressing the parliament's readiness to amend the salary scale if the Council of Ministers sends the Federal Service Law at any time.
