WITU still awaiting word on cost of living payment

PHILIPSBURG--Windward Islands Teachers Union says it is still awaiting official word from government on the 3.2 per cent 2010 cost of living adjustment payment which was supposed to have been made to the hundreds of teachers and civil servants on government's payroll this month.

WITU President Claire Elshot said on Thursday that Prime Minister Sarah Wescot-Williams is yet to get back to the union on the payment.

The payment was not included in the draft 2012 budget, but the Prime Minister had said earlier that all efforts would be made to facilitate the payment.

Elshot told reporters at a press conference that the union is awaiting official word from government to be able to pass on this information to its members. She said up until now the union has no official information to give to its members, some of whom have approached the union with queries.

She said at a certain moment a general meeting would have to be called to apprise members of the situation.
