Unions Joining Forces against G.O.B. Proposal

Elena Smith

B.N.T.U. National President, Senator Elena Smith says that in other districts, members of the Public Service Union and the Association of Public Service Senior Managers joined in the motorcades. Senator Smith says there is collaboration between the unions in the dialogue with G.O.B. since the salary cut and increment freeze is across the board for all public officers, including police officers.

“That is the reason why we are moving forward as joint unions to put forward proposals and then to engage in all the other activities. So tomorrow’s press conference will see the other two unions being a part of that. And we should have seen a few of the public officers engaged in some of the districts because time was short with their notifications. So we do expect that as we move along and we progress with our activities that we will have their involvement in those activities.”

A press conference by the joint unions on their response to the proposed salary cuts and increment freeze will be held at ten a.m. on Wednesday.
