Pres­i­dent Gen­er­al of the Con­trac­tors and Gen­er­al Work­ers Trade Union (CGW­TU), Er­mine De Bique-Meade, hopes if the oth­er unions now get­ting the op­por­tu­ni­ty to re­turn to the draw­ing board with Chief Per­son­nel Of­fi­cer (CPO) Com­man­der Dr Daryl Din­di­al are grant­ed a Cost of Liv­ing Al­lowance (CO­LA), that her mem­bers will re­ceive it as well.

The CGW­TU rep­re­sents San Fer­nan­do City Cor­po­ra­tion (SFCC) work­ers.

“What we would have liked, if they are in­tro­duc­ing CO­LA, that we get CO­LA,” De Bique-Meade said, “but we would have asked the CPO for a side let­ter in­di­cat­ing if any oth­er union that rep­re­sents the same type of work­ers get any­thing su­pe­ri­or that we would get it and the CPO told us no.”
