The president of one trade union says the entire public sector is looking forward to getting “a fair and just settlement.”
The comment from Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers Association (TTUTA) president Martin Lum Kin came after Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said on Monday that she was placing her faith in God to help finance a proposed 10 per cent wage increase for public servants.
Her remarks have sparked mixed reactions among labour leaders, with some cautiously optimistic while others are calling for concrete action and transparency.
