Last week we told you about the big increase in salaries for the Cabinet Secretary and the CEO's. Well, now the joint unions say they want their slice of the pie as well.
Two days ago, the Joint Union Negotiations Team representing the Public Service Union of Belize, the Belize National Teachers' Union, and the Association of Public Service Senior Managers wrote to government saying it wishes to raise with urgency the matter of a long-overdue salary adjustment.
They note, the quote, "recent decision to reward Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) with enhanced benefits, despite the sacrifices made by frontline public officers, represents a grave injustice and a blatant disregard for the principles of equity and shared sacrifice.
They say they are, quote, "amenable to a phased implementation of the 8.5% adjustment" for their members.
They call for a response by May first.
