The National Workers Union (NWU) has submitted proposals to the Government of Saint Lucia on behalf of hourly and daily paid Town and Village Council and non-established workers of Government.

The NWU’s letter to Government states that the last industrial agreement between Government and the NWU ended in March 2013.

“In keeping with accepted industrial relations practice and the provision enshrined in the industrial agreement between the parties, it is obligatory on the part of the NWU so to do,” the union said.

The NWU is also requesting an early meeting between Government and the NWU to determine and plot the way forward.
