In its budget proposal for 2018, the union grouping, FITUG has called on the Government to halt plans to close and sell sugar estates and it also wants the income tax threshold raised from $60,000 per month to $100,000.
FITUG, which comprises the sugar unions GAWU and NAACIE among others, met with Minister within the Ministry of Finance, Jaipaul Sharma on Monday, at the Ministry’s invitation, on proposals it wished to have included in the 2018 National Budget.
In its proposal released to the media on Tuesday, FITUG called on the Government to seriously re-examine its plans especially given what it said was the “sad reality of Wales”.
