CASTRIES, St. Lucia, CMC – The St. Lucia government says it will pay a four per cent increase to all public servants even though members of the Civil Service Association (CSA) had voted last month to reject the government’s offer and settle for a wage freeze. Government said that the increase will be a one per cent in the first year followed by a 1.5 per cent hike for the remaining two years. Public Service Minister Dr. James Fletcher said CSA members still had the option of writing to their respective permanent secretaries informing of their wish not to receive the salary increases.
