Unite the Union and the GGCA say they held positive talks on Monday ahead of further public sector pay negotiations with the Govenrment. 

A sttaement from Unite follows below:

There was a genuine appetite from both unions to work collaboratively and achieve the best outcome possible for the whole of the Public Sector.

Further to this, conversations touched upon extending our efforts to issues beyond the Public Sector, which were key elements of the Unite Public Sector pay claim and use our joint platform to raise issues for all members and workers, including those in the Private Sector.

Donovan Correia, Regional Officer for Unite Gibraltar stated “It was a pleasure to host colleagues from the GGCA at Transport House to discuss this important matter. It was clear that meeting our members’ wishes was the primary concern for both unions. To this end, we remain committed to securing an outcome our members deserve and that by working together, holding a united position was the best means of achieving positive outcomes for our respective memberships.

“It was also promising to see both Unions align on many issues not directly related to the Public Sector which if successful will deliver on the wider Unite pay claim and improve the employment landscape. I am confident that this can continue in future, and potentially we can make a difference to all working people in Gibraltar.”
