The\r\ngovernment already announced to levy a one-off tax, taking half of\r\nworkers' Christmas bonus, to help reach the target for the budget deficit in\r\n2011. The bonus is equivalent to a month's pay. The Minister also announced\r\nthat the number of civil servants will be reduced by 2% annually over the next\r\nthree years while civil service salaries will be frozen over the same period.\r\nObservers agree that the plans will bring more pain for families and companies\r\nalready finding it hard to make ends meet amid tax hikes and welfare cuts. The\r\nunions have vowed to fight the measures and plan demonstrations on 1 October (See also this Collective\r\nBargaining Newsletter Year 4 May and June 2011).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">\u003Cspan class=\"CM5Char2\">English:\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cspan class=\"Char37\"> \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.businessweek.com\u002Fap\u002Ffinancialnews\u002FD9PF5ED80.htm\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.businessweek.com\u002Fap\u002Ffinancialnews\u002FD9PF5ED80.htm\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cem>\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cem>This\r\narticle was published in the Collective Bargaining Newsletter.
