Employees of the National Institute of Statistics (INS) will protest on November 4, demanding unpaid salary rights and equal pay with other public institutions. The union claims that the government has delayed payments established by court rulings and that INS staff are among the lowest paid in public administration. They seek full payment of outstanding salaries and alignment of their pay scale with that of the Government's General Secretariat. The protest highlights concerns over budget cuts affecting the stability and data quality of the institution.
