• Discussion with Finance Ministry tomorrow 

The Customs Trade Union (TU) Alliance launched a TU action yesterday (24), citing several unresolved requests, including promotions, that have been delayed for the past six years. The Alliance stated that despite raising these issues with the authorities on numerous occasions, no concrete solutions have been provided to date. 

Accordingly, Customs officers started wearing black armbands while performing their duties at all Customs offices island-wide.

However, a special discussion involving the Finance Ministry, the Public Service Commission (PSC), and several other parties is scheduled for tomorrow (26) to address the matter.

Depending on the outcome of this discussion, representatives of the Alliance are expected to meet on 27 February to decide on the future course of their industrial action.
