Government and public union break off negotiation

January 28, 2014 by Staff News Writer

Unionists came wage bargaining.


On Monday, Unions walked away from salary negotiations for public sector workers, saying that the government lacked a concrete proposal. The labor union called for a 3.62 percent increase for the first half of the year, but did not receive a counter proposal from the government, which is asking for a week to review the numbers.

Executives from the Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MTSS) complained of a lack of respect on the part of the union and would like to develop a plan that would include a new pay formula. The government also said that the union plan would increase costs by ¢144 billion ($288 million) for central government employees.
