PRISON OFFICERS are in dispute with management over pay and conditions.

THE airport firefighters’ union representative has described the new pay deal as good for the people of Guernsey.

FORMER members of the Public Sector Remuneration Committee should ‘eat humble pie’ for criticisms they levelled at airport firefighters, a spokesman for the men has said.

THE Policy Council should take on responsibility for agreeing public sector pay deals, an independent Tribunal of Inquiry has said.

GUERNSEY’S airport could close as a result of a tribunal of inquiry set up to look at what caused the last stoppage.

TOP-LEVEL civil service intervention into how any review should be carried out into the airport firefighters pay disagreement has not shifted the attitudes of those deputies backing two different paths.

GUERNSEY’S States descended into chaos yesterday as deputies learned that a group of ministers had brokered a deal with airport firefighters behind the back of the Public Sector Remuneration Committee.

AIRPORT firefighters dramatically returned to work yesterday afternoon following nearly three hours of talks with Chief Minister Lyndon Trott.

THERE has been an unreal, if not surreal, air to the firefighters’ dispute since the beginning.

FLYBE will ask passengers to claim compensation direct from the States if a lack of firefighter cover grounds its aircraft.
