Felex Share — Civil servants' representatives yesterday said they were finalising consultations on the U.S.$100 advance payment offered by Government amid indications that the majority of workers had rejected the proposal.Government on Monday met civil servants' unions and offered them U.S.$100 for transport while they awaited their June salaries to be paid in a fortnight. The employer offered to pay the advance payment by Friday, but civil servants said they would give their position today after consulting their membership.
Apex Council team leader Mrs Cecilia Alexander said they were finalising consultations to make a determination. "Unions are still on the ground and it is only after their compilations that the Apex Council will sit down and come up with a position," she said. "Our position will be informed by the input from the unions and tomorrow (today) everything will be clear on which route we will be taking."
