In the face of trade unions renewing calls on the government to sanction the proposed $60,000 minimum wage for private sector employees, Minister of Labour Joseph Hamilton yesterday said that it is still being considered by Cabinet.
In a brief comment, Hamilton, who was notably absent from Labour Day observances within the city, told Stabroek News that the proposal has been receiving “active consideration” from Cabinet.
Pressed further on whether there is a timetable for the conclusion of the review, he responded in the negative, stating that he cannot envision a timeline.
