T&T gov't improves wage offer to UWI St. Augustine staff

The Minister of Finance in Trinidad and Tobago on Thursday announced  that government has given the Administration at the University of the West Indies an improved offer for a wage increase of six percent  for the six-year period August 2014 to July 2020.
 
The new offer will cost TT$23 million per year in additional recurrent costs for UWI and result in retroactive pay of $165 million, all of which the government has agreed to pay on UWI's behalf.
 
Over the last few weeks, the West Indian Group of University Teachers launched a Red Revolution protest by marching to the office of principal of the St. Augustine Campus, Professor Rose-Marie Belle Antoine, to demand an increase.
 
Members were also urged to persist in withholding grades and shutting down all operations, including non-attendance at examination meetings.
