The Trinidad and Tobago Postal Workers' Union (TTPWU) has confirmed that a number of TTPOST offices across the country are closed today (Wednesday 13th March, 2024), as a result of protest action by workers.
Roughly 200 TTPOST workers are said to have descended on the office of the Chief Personnel Officer (CPO), Dr. Daryl Dindial, on Alexandria Street, Port-of-Spain. The workers are calling for their wages to be reviewed and adjusted accordingly.
According to reports, a job evaluation for forty-six (46) positions within TTPOST was completed back in 2011 and included recommendations for an 18.6% increase in salaries for hundreds of workers. However, there have reportedly been no adjustments since, and with the recent proposal coming from the Salaries Review Commission (SRC) for increases of over 30% for Government and Opposition Officials, the workers are said to be feeling dismayed.
The Union previously said they wrote to the CPO about their issues some two (2) years ago, however, they claimed they received no acknowledgment or response from him to date. Another letter was recently hand-delivered by the Union to Dr. Dindial, giving him one week to implement the final report of the job evaluation. More on this as it becomes available.
