"The Fiji Islands Council of Trade Unions has today changed its negotiation tactics after questioning the interim government on why it has allowed promotions within the Fiji Military Forces when it makes other civil servants suffer the burdens of the paycut.
It would be unfair of the IIG to penalise civil servants with paycuts while FMF continues to blatantly promote their own to senior positions. Thats downright obnoxious to say the least.
In a submission to the Interim Public Service Minister Poseci Bune today on why the five percent paycut should be restored, FICTU General Secretary Taniela Tabu says the promotions within the RFMF has reaffirmed their stance on the matter.
Thats great Mr. Tabu. Don't let your choke hold on this IIG loosen by any means. Keep them on their toes. Keep them guessing and make sure you take back what the devil has stolen!
However Military Spokesperson Major Neumi Leweni says the union has got its wires crossed. Leweni says the promotion in the RFMF does not come with an increase in pay, but with much more responsibility and accountability.
Yeah right.......we've heard that one before........lame excuse after lame excuse.......
After meeting with Bune earlier today no solution was found and FICTU's proposal on the restoration of the paycut based on the promotions within the RFMF will now be taken to cabinet for consideration.
FITCU wants the paycut restored by August this year, that the retirement age remain at 60 years and not 55 which is being implemented and the suspension of the partnership agreement be lifted immediately.
Thats right, GO FOR IT! Keep fighting for your rights till you get back all you lost. Let the retirement age stay at 60!
Police are currently questioning the man suspected to have been involved in the theft at the Interim Prime Ministers office over the weekend.Assistant Spokesperson Corporal Suliano Tevita has confirmed that the man is in custody at the central police station and is being interrogated as investigations continue.
Well Watson, the mystery of the IIPM's stolen goods seems to be solved..........but then you never can tell with these people can you.....so much cover up and lies.......who knows this may just be another cover story to make them look good........
He also confirms that Police have recovered some of the missing items reported stolen from the PM's office and the suspect is expected to be charged tomorrow. "villagenews.
I'll take this tidbit with a pinch of salt.......just in case........
