TTPost has re­ject­ed a 24 per cent wage pro­pos­al from the T&T Postal Work­ers’ Union for the pe­ri­ods 2014-2016 and 2017-2019, de­scrib­ing it as “ex­ces­sive” and “de­tached from eco­nom­ic re­al­i­ty.”

“This out­ra­geous 24 per cent coun­ter­pro­pos­al is not on­ly im­prac­ti­cal but al­so a cal­cu­lat­ed ma­noeu­vre by the union’s ex­ec­u­tive to stall ne­go­ti­a­tions and serve their per­son­al in­ter­ests, dis­re­gard­ing the wel­fare of our hard­work­ing em­ploy­ees,” TTPost said in a state­ment.
