NATIONAL Union of Government and Federated Workers Union (NUGFW) president general Christopher Streete says he is elated that the Government has formalised its ten per cent salary offer to public servants covering two outstanding negotiating periods.

And he is hoping that the NUGFW, which represents 17,000 daily-rated workers, would also be called to the bargaining table sometime this week to negotiate for the same percentage.

On November 21, the PSA, led by its president Felisha Thomas, got a formal ten per cent salary offer via a letter that was delivered during a meeting with the union, the Personnel Department and the Ministry of Finance. The letter was handed over during a presentation by acting Chief Personnel Officer (CPO) Wendy Barton on the state of the economy.
