Two of the country’s largest trade unions have described the implementation this month of increased salaries for politicians as a wicked, disgraceful and hypocritical move by Government.
In fact, the Public Services Association (PSA) is calling on the population to oppose this move at the polls.
On Wednesday, Finance Minister Colm Imbert confirmed the increased salaries will take effect from February and when asked by Guardian Media if the State had the funds to accommodate it, he said, “Well I would think so.”
