MINISTER OF FINANCE Chris Sinckler has been served notice that the workers’ unions will be looking to discuss wage increases for employees in the not too distant future.

It has come from president of the Congress of Trade Unions and Staff Associations of Barbados (CTUSAB), Cedric Murrell.

“We are interested in engaging our employers in talks this year for wages and salaries for our members. I give early notice to the Minster [of Finance] that he should so equip his negotiators with the tools and the resources that we can have a meaningful dialogue,” said Murrell.

Addressing the opening ceremony of the 2016 Week Of Excellence at the Grande Salle of the Central Bank yesterday, he gave Sinckler the assurance that fairness would prevail.
