PSU reports progress in negotiations with government

(DNO) The Dominica Public Service Union is speaking of positive negotiations with government on a number of non salary matters, while it has rejected a latest 3 percent salary increase proposal.

Thomas Letang, general secretary of the DPSU, says government has been expressing interest in several of the union’s undertakings.

“We have made a lot of positive inroads in that area,” Letang said, citing the establishment of a preparatory school that the PSU intends to open.

Letang said government has also shown interest in assisting with a health fund for public officers.

    There are alot of duties which come with a vehicle so they must be specific with which duties are being waived. Alot of them are compounded too. At what of those people without no travelling post?? maybe a full disclosure of the governement finances i.e expenditure and income would let us appreciate why they are playing so stiff on salary increases.

    PSU,

    Please tell us what the situation is with the idea of obtaining duty-free vehicles for public officer. Is this just “hear-say” or something we will see materialize under this administration. In that way not only a SELECTED FEW will benefit but that all “may” eat a lil too.
