President Bharrat Jagdeo is assuring Public Servants that they will get an increase in salary.
The president made the disclosure during a recent press briefing where he stated that there will be an increase but he was not prepared at that time to say just how much it would be.
The opposition parties have forever been calling for an increase in wages for public servants.
During one of its recent press statements, the PNCR had reiterated that in July of this year, the party called for a significant increase in the wages and salaries of Public Servants to enable them to cope with the rising cost of living.
Shortly after, President Jagdeo announced that Public Sector employees would receive a pay increase this year.
The party at that time had said that it is clear to the PNCR that President Jagdeo intends to enforce another unilateral pay increase in violation of the collective bargaining agreement.
“The PNCR believes that such a course of action will inflame the relationship between the Public Servants, the Government and the Union that represents them. The President of the Public Service Union has already written the Minister of Finance in March of 2009, and the Public Service Ministry requesting an increase in wages and salaries for Public Servants. There has been no response to these letters.”
The party had also stated that it believes that the Public Servants must be paid an increase in wages and salaries now and not over the Christmas season when it would be politically expedient for the Jagdeo Administration to do so.
“In delaying the increase of wages and salaries for Public Servants, this administration is once again demonstrating that its working class credentials are in tatters and that it is insensitive to the plight of the workers of this country. In fact, the Jagdeo Administration seems to be populated by super rich fat cats who have lost touch with the Guyanese people and is baffled by the fact that the average Public Servant cannot purchase adequate amounts of food for their family, afford transportation and schooling for their children or have a sufficient amount of disposable income to enable them to engage in leisure activities which can cushion them against the ever present stressful situations in our society.”
