On Friday, March 5, the Government of Belize sent a letter to the presidents of the Public Service Union (PSU), the National Trade Union Congress of Belize (NTUCB), the President of the Association of Public Service Senior Managers (APSSM), and the President of the Belize National Teacher’s Union (BNTU).
The letter was written to inform them that the government was proposing a three-year 10% salary cut for public officers. Additionally they are proposing a three-year salary freeze. This, according to the Government the salary cut will hold in place and is estimated to save 60 million dollars per year. The increment freeze for itself is expected to yield a 20 million dollars per year in savings. The letter states that “It is expected that the unions will recommend the method by which such minimum savings will be achieved, for example, by way of a flat rate across-the-board adjustment or a progressive salary band-based adjustment.”
