The outstanding issues contained in the communiqué signed on 16th December 2022 which the Minister promised to resolve remained unsolved. The minister’s words amount to nothing.

The effective date of January 2023 which the Government Team wants to unilaterally impose on CETAG instead of the mutually agreed effective date of January 2022 is totally unacceptable. The group said.
CETAG have stated that can no longer trust the assurances given by the stakeholders to seek a further financial mandate. The three outstanding generic allowances have not been paid as promised.
GTEC has failed to disclose to the group the amount it was proposed to be paid as all-year-round work compensation. Before they suspended their strike, they were promised to be paid in full.
