Suriname's President Chan Santokhi has confirmed that trade unions representing the security forces have submitted a counter proposal to the government's wage offer.
The government has offered a 20 per cent salary increase, but chairman of the Surinamese Police Union, Poetini Atompa, said no agreement has yet been reached following talks yesterday.
The trade unions are seeking a SR$3,500 purchasing power increase in the salary of their members.
President Santokhi said the goal is to find a solution that is workable for everyone.
