G.O.B. and JUNT Sign CBA, Finally 

A Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the Government of Belize and the Public Service Union (PSU), the Belize National Teachers Union (BNTU) and the Association of Public Service Senior Managers (APSSM) was signed today at the House of Culture in Belize City.

The signing comes after years of negotiations.

The last time we provided an update was in May, when the Joint Unions Negotiation Team met with representatives of the Government of Belize for the first time in seven months. Eight items were discussed, including the signing of the Collective Agreement, implementing tax reform, and establishing a UN Anti-Corruption Commission.

Back then, Cordel Hyde, Deputy Prime Minister, told reporters that there was a significant development regarding the long-pending Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), which had been unresolved for sixteen years. The primary issue was proposal twenty-two, concerning secondary school teachers not employed by the government.
