A third trade union has set­tled wage ne­go­ti­a­tions with the Gov­ern­ment in less than a week.

The lat­est sig­na­ture came from the Con­trac­tors and Gen­er­al Work­ers’ Trade Union (CGW­TU) for the pe­ri­ods 2014 to 2016 and 2017 to 2019.

The set­tle­ment in­cludes mar­ket rate-based salary ad­just­ments and brings clo­sure to sev­er­al out­stand­ing mat­ters, in­clud­ing the re­grad­ing/clas­si­fi­ca­tion of sev­er­al po­si­tions.

The union signed off fol­low­ing a meet­ing with Chief Per­son­nel Of­fi­cer Dr Daryl Din­di­al yes­ter­day.

On Tues­day, the Amal­ga­mat­ed Work­ers’ Union agreed to a five per cent of­fer for the pe­ri­od 2020 to 2022. The AWU was one of the first unions to ac­cept a four per cent of­fer by the Gov­ern­ment dur­ing the last rounds of ne­go­ti­a­tions for the years 2014 to 2019.

Last week, the T&T Uni­fied Teach­ers’ As­so­ci­a­tion agreed to a five per cent of­fer for the years 2020 to 2023.
