Union Concerns

CMC — The St Vincent and the Grenadines Teachers’ Union (SVGTU) says the Ralph Gonsalves government “must reiterate its stance on job security” in light of the government’s undertakings with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

In addition, the union said the government must “give the assurance that such agreement will not at all interfere with the established terms and conditions for teachers and other public servants”. It also expressed concern that there has been a wage freeze since 2011.
