Unions turn to Trott for help

UNIONS fear that mounting financial pressure on the States could seriously hinder pay negotiations for teachers, nurses and civil servants.

No harm in listening to the workers

KEEP away, put your fingers in your ears and sing loudly ‘We are not listening’ was the advice from the outgoing chairman of the Public Sector Remuneration Committee when the Unite union invited States members to attend a meeting.

Don’t meet the union, deputies are advised

THE deputy responsible for negotiating States pay up until the election advised politicians to stay away from tomorrow’s public sector workers’ wage presentation.

Union will not rule out strikes

STRIKE action by public sector workers cannot be ruled out.

‘We keep island ticking but get no recognition’

DISRUPTION of airport and harbour operations would be just some of the consequences if public service employees strike.
