DCS Officers Reject Finance Ministry’s Pay Offer

The ongoing salary negotiations between the Ministry of Finance and the Department of Correctional Services seem far from a resolution.

The highly anticipated meeting between the Ministry of Finance and the unions representing the Department of Correctional Services staff ended in a stalemate on Thursday.

Unfortunately, the officers rejected the offer, stating it resembled the previous one too closely. Everton Thompson, an executive delegate of the University and Allied Workers Union, expressed that the officers are deeply dissatisfied with the situation. Watch the report:
