Grenada: Salary increase negotiated for prison officers
An agreement has been ratified for the rise in salaries and wages between the Government of Grenada and the Prison Officers’ Welfare Association.
This is for January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2025.
The Association, which represents all ranks of Prison Officers, bargained and accepted the Government’s offer of a percentage increase in salary of 4 per cent for the year 2024 and 5 per cent for the year 2025, having previously signed in 2020 to receive a 4 per cent increase for the year 2023.
This signing completes negotiations for four of the seven bargaining units on increases in salaries and wages.
This number represents over 50 per cent of public sector workers.
The Government Negotiating team recognised and appreciated the Prison Officers’ yeoman service and invaluable contribution to maintaining safety and security within the State of Grenada.
All parties were grateful for the cordial relationship during negotiations.
The Acting Labour Commissioner congratulated the parties for negotiating in good faith.
