Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo has announced a 10 per cent pay increase for public servants, as the Government moves to settle long-outstanding wage negotiations.
"For far too long, our public officers, the backbone of our nation’s workforce, have been made to carry the weight of the former Government’s neglect and indifference," Tancoo said. "This Government is taking this bold and historic step to restore justice, dignity and respect to the hard-working men and women of the public service."
He said the revised offer covers the periods 2014–2016 and 2017–2019. Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar instructed the Chief Personnel Officer to make the new proposal to the Public Services Association.
