Public Service Association (PSA) president Felisha Thomas says the union is aiming to settle public service wage negotiations by Christmas, so that workers can finally receive long-overdue payments.

Speaking during a media conference live on Facebook on October 14, Thomas directly addressed what she called "misinformation from the opposition" concerning the recent ten per cent negotiation offer announced by Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo in his budget presentation on October 13.

"We are serious about your business. We are serious about settling your negotiations. Our aim is to have your negotiation settled by Christmas so that your money will be in your pockets," Thomas said.
