THE WORKERS UNIONS want to engage the Minister of Finance Christopher Sinckler in discussions for wage and salary increases soon.
This morning, president of the Congress of Trade Unions and Staff Associations of Barbados Cedric Murrell said as they approach the exercise, they do so with the full knowledge and understanding, “That our country needs us in terms of our vision for what our country is and because our workers are an integral part of what our country is, is why we have to engage”.
Murrell, who was speaking at the opening ceremony of the 2016 Week of Excellence at the Grand Salle, noted that since 2009 there were no salaries and wages increases in the public sector and that was a matter that needed to be discussed. (LK)
