State Attorneys will today decide whether or not they will be laying down their tools, as they press home their demand for better conditions of service.

The state lawyers gave a seven-day ultimatum on October 10 for the enforcement of an order to harmonize their salaries with that of the members of the lower bench.

The state Attorneys are also demanding payment of their arrears and provision of some office equipment.

Last week, an attempt by the National Labour Commission to resolve the impasse failed.
