Chief Labour Officer Dhaneshwar Deonarine has been instructed to convene a meeting with National Tripartite Committee (NTC) to resume discussions on the national minimum wage, Minister of Labour Joseph Hamilton has said.
Hamilton, who told Stabroek News that the meeting is scheduled to take place within the next two weeks, said he believes that the private sector is in a better position to agree to the proposed sum of $60,000 per month. The current national minimum wage is $44,200.
