The PSU has also written to Governor General Froyla Tzalam asking her to defer her House-approved salary increase and stand in solidarity with the public officers who have gotten a pay cut.
Flowers explained:
Dean Flowers - President, PSU
"Our intent of course when we wrote to her was to remind her excellency that she is head, and she must lead by example. Our intention was also to point out that to whom much is given, much is expected and hence the reason why as we were having this interview the situation with the CEOs exempted from a 10% salary cut is utter disrespect to the laborers of this country. We expect that the GG will do the right thing and stand in solidarity with the workers of the public service and we expect that she will defer her increase in salary for the next 3 years in solidarity. Of course, it is her choice but it will speak also of her legacy and her decision to abandon the recovery efforts of this country will be a part of her legacy and etched forever in the history books."
