Turkish Cypriot CMP members call off strike

Turkish Cypriots employed at the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus (CMP) called off a planned strike on Monday, after receiving their back pay at the last minute.

The 50 employees belong to the Ktams trade union, representing civil servants in the north.

They had threatened to stop working, complaining they had not been paid for 46 days.

On Monday, they received their back pay.

A group of employees staged a protest outside the ‘finance ministry’ building.
