Unions mum following talks with Prime Minister Anthony

Jan 09, 2013

CASTRIES, St. Lucia, CMC – Trade union officials were keeping mum on Tuesday, one day after Prime Minister Dr. Kenny Anthony indicated that while his government is anxious to bring closure to the wage and salary negotiations involving public servants it is not going to endorse salaries that would force the island into the clutches of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Anthony met with the members of the Trade Union Federation (TUF) after the trade unionists met in an emergency session on Monday.
General Secretary of the Civil Service Association (CSA) David Demaque later described the reaction among the general membership to the Prime Minister’s message as mixed adding that ultimately good sense must prevail and that all stakeholders must be objective in order to achieve an amicable settlement.
