For­mer Fi­nance and cur­rent Pub­lic Util­i­ties Min­is­ter Colm Im­bert is warn­ing pub­lic ser­vants that their union lead­ers want them to suf­fer by deny­ing them their back­pay.

How­ev­er, the Pub­lic Ser­vices As­so­ci­a­tion’s (PSA) pres­i­dent has fired back, say­ing Im­bert could take the Gov­ern­ment’s four per cent wage of­fer and “shove it.”

Speak­ing at the Diego Mar­tin Cen­tral Sec­ondary School Wednes­day evening, Im­bert said Gov­ern­ment is ready to dis­burse back pay to mem­bers of the PSA, but he claimed the ex­ec­u­tive is re­fus­ing to ac­cept their wage of­fer.
