The Caribbean Public Services Association (CPSA) today observes what is intended to be an annual event – CPSA Solidarity Day. The theme for this year’s observance is “Public Sector workers safeguarding public services”.
The CPSA has also adopted a slogan for this special event which is “CPSA: United and Strong’. In light of all the difficulties being experienced by public sector employees, the CPSA saw the need to set aside one day each year when affiliates will simultaneously organize activities which will not only highlight their own existence but also that of the CPSA as a regional public sector trade union organisation, one which was formed 49 years ago.
Today’s economic, political and social global challenges make the objectives of the CPSA as relevant as they were half a century ago. The Caribbean which is so vulnerable to Climate impacts and other Shocks ought to continue to find innovative and progressive solutions.
Consequently, the need to intensify and strengthen unity among Public Sector Trade Unions assumes even greater urgency. Some of the severe existential threats confronting public workers such as the erosion of human rights, © threats to pensions and fringe benefits, political victimization, low salaries, and wages demand collective resistance. Though affiliates will be at different levels in terms of their development and ability to combat the problems, the CPSA provides a platform for united action. As a matter of priority it offers the requisite technical assistance to assist affiliates.
The CPSA has a track record serving as a central or coordinating agency for discussion with Governments in which respective affiliates are engaged. Notwithstanding financial constraints, great success has been realized in the Training and Education of ordinary and Executive members of affiliates, women and young workers. Reports show that tremendous benefits have been accrued from those activities utilizing the knowledge and skills of internal personnel resources.
The CPSA over the past decade has been consistent in its pursuit of campaigns in addressing precarious work, gender equality and equity, governance and transparency issues, economic issues, poor working conditions and disaster management all of which impacts on public services.
Our collective efforts have brought about positive results. We must, however, bear in mind that our detractors will not…

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
