Government seeks pact for growth
THE government is seeking a "broad pact" with business and labour to contain food prices, exorbitant executive pay packages and even the wage increases of lower-earning workers in a bold "solidarity" attempt to dramatically reduce high unemployment levels while boosting growth and equity.
