The Ministers assured the union leaders that the issues raised by them would be considered by a High Level Committee.
The government stepped in with the assurance to avert the July 11 strike called by the central government employees' unions against the 7th Pay Commission's recommendations,
The National Joint Council of Action (NJCA) of central government employees' unions which includes Railways, Post and Telegraph and Defence had announced an indefinite strike from July 11 against the "unilateral" announcement of the Central government on implementation of 7th Pay Commission's awards.
