The National Union of Government and Federated Workers (NUGFW) has signed off on a ten per cent wage increase, a deal that will cost the State $2.6 billion in backpay and add $252 million annually to the national wage bill.
The agreement, which covers two bargaining periods ranging between 2014 and 2019, was signed between Chief Personnel Officer (CPO) Dr Daryl Dindial and NUGFW president general Christopher Streete yesterday at the CPO’s office in Port-of-Spain.
