CASTRIES, St. Lucia, CMC – Civil servants have voted to take to the streets on Thursday in support of their demands for increased salaries of more than four per cent that the St. Lucia government says it is not able to pay.
The action by the Civil Service Association (CSA) also indicates a growing spilt within the Trade Union Federation (TUF) after CSA president Mary Isaac questioned the “solidarity” being shown by other public sector unions grouped under the umbrella body.
“I myself (am) confused as to the whole issue of standing in solidarity…I think they should be asked what they mean by solidarity,” she said on television.
