People's National Party President Mark Golding has characterised the proposed doubling of the minimum wage by the incumbent Jamaica Labour Party is another "last ditch probox promise" ahead of the September 3 parliamentary general election.
Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness announced Sunday night that, if re-elected, his government will gradually increase the national minimum wage from $16,000 to $32,000 for a 40-hour work week.
He said the first increase to $18,500 would take effect in the first budget of the new term, with further hikes in the following years.
But Mr Golding, speaking at a rally in Spalding, Clarendon on Monday night, claimed the PNP has a more workable plan for minimum wage earners.
