STATEMENT FROM LABOUR MINISTER ON GRENLEC STRIKE
Labour Minister Glynis Roberts says her Ministry is willing to make available the necessary resources to ensure that an amicable solution is reached between the Grenada Electricity Company and the Technical and Allied Workers Union in the ongoing wage dispute.
Roberts, along with acting Prime Minister Denis Lett met today with both groups in an effort to resolve the issue.
The Labour Minister says she is satisfied that both parties will reach an agreement soon.
About 100 employees of GRENLEC stayed off the job Tuesday, for the
second consecutive day, to press for a cost of living adjustment to
their new wage agreement.
The striking workers are demanding a 7.5 per cent increase on salary
adjustments for 2007, after the results of a job evaluation carried out
by the Trinidad and Tobago-based Human Systems Limited.
GRENLEC and TAWU have already signed on to the new three-year wage
agreement which includes a 4.25 per cent pay hike on salaries for 2008.
