Word has reached us that the Grenada Manual, Maritime and Intellectual Workersβ Union (GMMIWU) has reached a successful agreement on increases in salaries and wages with the government of Grenada.
This agreement we understand was signed last Friday.
It marked the third successful negotiation in recent weeks between the Government and bargaining units that represent various categories of workers within the Public Sector, including the Grenada Union of Teachers and the Royal Grenada Police Force Negotiating Team.
Mrs. Sparkle Grenade-Courtney, Ag. Labour Commissioner ratified the agreements and thanked both parties for concluding negotiations at this level, anticipating that other bargaining units would soon reach a settlement with the Government Negotiating Team.
The GMMIWU bargained and accepted the Governmentβs proposal for increases of 4% for the year 2024 and 5% for the year 2025, having previously signed in 2020 to receive a 4% increase for the year 2023.
The GMMIWU is the 4th largest bargaining agent within the Public Sector, representing workers at the Mt. Reuil Estate, Laura Estate and un-established cooks attached to the School Feeding Programme.
