Following the government’s failure to negotiate with the public service union on the announced 7% pay hike for public servants, civil society group Article 13 has joined in criticism of the Irfaan Ali-led administration for violating both local laws and international convention.
In a statement, issued by spokespersons Ramon Gaskin, Yog Mahadeo and Jonathan Yearwood on Saturday, the group lamented the continued unilateral imposition of wage increases, which it noted has occurred for every year since 1999.
