Another public sector union signs wage restraint agreement
Mar 11, 2013
KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC - The Jamaica Teachers Association, (JTA) has become the latest public sector union to sign a wage restraint agreement with the Portia Simpson Miller led administration.
Previously, the teachers’ union had stated that it could not make such an agreement and as a result did not join other public sector unions, which signed the agreement with the government last week.
JTA President, Clayton Hall, said the teachers decided to relent given the circumstances facing the country. He noted that the wage restraint deal for the 2012-2015 came in the form of a package with other incentives.
