The Jamaica Civil Service Association (JCSA) has warned that thousands of Government workers could “consider further action” if issues related to travelling allowances and wage talks remain unresolved.

"Public servants cannot continue to shoulder rising costs while waiting indefinitely for the settlement of legitimate claims," President Techa Clarke-Griffiths said.

The union said it is urging the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service to “immediately engage with the trade union movement to bring both the travelling allowance claim and the wage negotiations to a fair and timely conclusion”.
