ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC – Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit Monday appealed to the Dominica Public Service Union (DPSU) and the Police Welfare Association to accept the government’s latest wage offer, insisting it is the “best we can do” given the current economic situation. DPSU general secretary Thomas Letang told reporters last Friday that the union had rejected the latest offer and is sticking to its demands for a three per cent wage hike for the period 2010-12. The government had initially offered a one per cent increase, but upped the offer to 1.5 per cent for the period 2011-12, which Letang said his union rejected outright.
