Newly-appointed The Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers’ Association (TTUTA) president Crystal Bevin Ashe says he wants to return to the negotiation table to adjust the wage agreement his predecessor signed off on with the previous government.
Speaking yesterday, hours after defeating Martin Lum Kin in Tuesday’s election, Ashe said he hoped the United National Congress, through the Chief Personnel Officer (CPO), would be amenable to such action, as he said they were looking at the United National Congress Government’s indication that will honour its promise to start negotiations with the Public Services Association at 10 per cent.
“We would have seen what the Public Service (Association) would have gotten and so on and we’re hoping that the present Government would be kind enough, such that they would be willing to return to the negotiating table with TTUTA and ratify that. That’s our hope more or less.”
