Government Proposes Renewed Talks Over WASA Wage Negotiations

The Public Services Association (PSA) staged a demonstration at the WASA St. Joseph branch, demanding the resumption of stalled wage negotiations. PSA President Felicia Thomas expressed disappointment over the lack of engagement, noting that WASA employees were left out of prior agreements that provided wage increases to other public sector workers. Following this demonstration, Minister of Public Utilities Barry Padarath has instructed WASA to resume talks with the union, indicating a shift in the government’s approach to addressing labor concerns. This development signals a potential resolution in an ongoing dispute impacting WASA employees.
