Ambali said one of the principles of collective bargaining allows all parties to look into all factors before an amount would be agreed on.
He stated that the shift in position will likely be communicated to the Federal Government during the second meeting of the tripartite committee on the minimum wage on Monday and Tuesday.
He said: “The principle of collective bargaining allows compromise once the parties look at all factors to ensure an agreeable amount is reached.
“The second meeting of the minimum wage committee has been slated for Monday and Tuesday.
