Trade union leaders have described the United National Congress’ (UNC) General Election victory as a “new day” for workers. However, they are also making it clear the time for words has passed and action must begin immediately.
The Seamen and Waterfront Workers’ Trade Union (SWWTU), the Communications Workers’ Union (CWU), and the Public Services Association (PSA) were carefully monitoring the promises on the campaign trail. PSA president Felisha Thomas meanwhile mounted the UNC’s political platform during its campaign and spoke about salary negotiation, which she vowed would start at ten per cent should the party win.
With the UNC now preparing to take office, union leaders are urging immediate implementation of campaign promises.
