Former Finance and now Public Utilities Minister Colm Imbert is warning public servants that their union leaders are denying them their backpay and causing them to suffer.
Speaking at the Diego Martin Central Secondary School last evening, Imbert said the government is ready to pay backpay to members of the Public Services Association (PSA), but the union’s executive has refused to accept the wage offer.
“Not only have we offered the public sector unions four per cent for a particular period, just a couple of months ago we offered them five per cent. That’s nine per cent in total,” Imbert told the hundreds of PNM supporters in attendance.
