The man­age­ment of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Postal Cor­po­ra­tion (TTPost) says it has ex­tend­ed an of­fi­cial in­vi­ta­tion to the Trinidad and To­ba­go Postal Work­ers' Union (TTP­WU) to com­mence for­mal ne­go­ti­a­tions.

In an of­fi­cial state­ment, the com­pa­ny re­vealed that it had sent the in­vi­ta­tion for wage talks on Mon­day, No­vem­ber 25, 2024, and that they are set to be­gin the ne­go­ti­a­tion ses­sions on De­cem­ber 2, 2024—pend­ing con­fir­ma­tion from the TTP­WU.

For the past sev­er­al weeks, TTPost work­ers have been protest­ing and call­ing for the com­mence­ment of salary ne­go­ti­a­tions.

In the me­dia re­lease, TTPost not­ed that these ne­go­ti­a­tions will fo­cus on the col­lec­tive bar­gain­ing pe­ri­ods 2011–2013, 2014–2016 and 2017–2019.

“These ses­sions are ex­pect­ed to con­tin­ue over the fol­low­ing weeks to al­low for thor­ough dis­cus­sions and con­sid­er­a­tion of all mat­ters. The ne­go­ti­a­tion process will be con­duct­ed in the spir­it of col­lab­o­ra­tion and trans­paren­cy, en­sur­ing that both par­ties have an op­por­tu­ni­ty to dis­cuss and re­solve the key is­sues,” TTPost said.

TTPost al­so said it is con­fi­dent that through co­op­er­a­tive ef­forts, they will achieve a suc­cess­ful and eq­ui­table out­come that ben­e­fits all par­ties in­volved.

“We re­main ful­ly com­mit­ted to en­sur­ing min­i­mal dis­rup­tion to ser­vices dur­ing this pe­ri­od and will con­tin­ue to work dili­gent­ly to serve the needs of the pub­lic,” the com­pa­ny’s state­ment said.
