The Public Services Association (PSA) has reiterated its rejection of the State’s proposal for a 40 per cent cash and 60 per cent non-cash settlement of outstanding public sector arrears, while outlining why it believes workers should receive their payments in cash.
In a public post issued on Facebook yesterday, PSA president Felisha Thomas declared, “PSA says NO!” to the proposal and defended the union’s position that “wages are earned in cash. They must be paid in cash.”
The negotiations involve salary periods covering 2014-2016 and 2017-2019 and remain a major point of contention between the union and the State.
