The signing of a conciliation agreement has paved the way for wages and salary negotiations between the Bosai Minerals Group and the National Association of Clerical, Commercial and Industrial Employees (NACCIE), who represents workers who have been protesting for increases.
Branch Chairman Whitney Graham told Sunday Stabroek that the protest has been called off with the understanding that negotiations for pay increases and shift benefits would get underway.
The negotiations are scheduled to commence tomorrow and would be moderated by the Ministry of Labour. Should the union and Bosai’s management fail to meet an amicable solution, they will have to move to arbitration, Graham said. However, he is hopeful that the conciliation would yield benefits and workers’ demands would be met.
