The government is facing more pressure to make a better wage and fringe benefits offer to another group of public sector workers.
The island's nurses have rejected the offer of a three per cent increase on wages in years one and two.
Carmen Johnson, President of the Nurses Association of Jamaica (NAJ), told RJR News that the government also proposed a freeze on existing allowances at the current rate.
She said at a meeting with the members Wednesday morning, the nurses expressed their disappointment with the offer, saying they felt it was "very disrespectful to them with no due consideration for their worth and the work they are doing in Jamaica."
They have vowed not to relent until the government meets their request for a better wage proposal.
