The Jamaica Civil Service Association [JCSA] has insisted that its members have not been benefiting from the items agreed during wage talks with the Ministry of Finance & The Public Service.
Finance Minister Dr Nigel Clarke has been highlighting the fact that an agreement has long been reached on eight of nine items with the Jamaica Confederation of Trade Unions [JCTU] on behalf of public sector workers.
This is in response to restiveness on the part of public sector workers say they have not been seeing the benefit of most of those items of agreement.
The JCSA has strongly backed the workers on that point, warning that normality in the government service cannot be guaranteed, in the meantime.
The eleven unions under the umbrella of the JCTU wrote to the Minister of Finance last Friday, demanding a meeting to discuss the outstanding items, within the next ten days.
The JCSA is a member of the Confederation.
JCSA President Techa Clarke-Griffiths says a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by trade unions for anomalies to be addressed under phase two of the wage agreement which concludes this month end.
But, speaking Monday on Radio Jamaica's Beyond the Headlines, she said the Ministry of fFinance & The Public Service had failed to honour its obligations under phase two of the programme.
Mrs Clarke Griffiths says workers are upset that their issues are being ignored by the ministry.
