The meeting between the federal government and labour over the implementation of the new minimum wage has again ended in a deadlock.
This is because both parties ended the meeting without a concrete agreement.
TVC News learnt that the government decided to step up from 9.5 per cent to 11 per cent for grade levels seven to 14 and 6.5 percent from 5.5 percent for levels 15 to 17.
