De­spite Fi­nance Min­is­ter Dave Tan­coo’s con­fir­ma­tion that the Pub­lic Ser­vices As­so­ci­a­tion (PSA) may have to ac­cept non-cash pay­ments for the re­main­der of their back­pay, union pres­i­dent Fe­l­isha Thomas is stand­ing firm, in­sist­ing that pub­lic ser­vants will on­ly ac­cept cash.

Mean­while, for­mer PSA head Wat­son Duke says he sup­ports Thomas’ hard­line stance but is re­mind­ing her that Tan­coo nev­er promised the en­tire $3.8 bil­lion in back­pay would be paid in cash.
