TEEU urges pay deal support

ONE of the country’s top unions has urged its 45,000 members to accept the proposed national pay deal.

The executive of the Technical Engineering and Electrical Union (TEEU) said the advances in employment rights, the need to protect jobs and maintain competitiveness were the main reasons to back it.

The draft wage agreement was finally hammered out by employers and unions last month after missing several deadlines set by the Government.
