And representatives of manual workers, civil servants, police, nurses and teachers say they will discuss ‘options for collective industrial action’.
The message was sent this morning by the associations to Chief Minister Terry Le Sueur and the members of the States Employment Board, which is the formal employer of the 6,654 public sector staff in Jersey.
It said that at a meeting last night, deep concern was expressed by public service employee representatives over the proposed cuts in services and an urgent meeting with the States Employment Board was requested.
‘In the interim we will be going back to our associations to discuss options for collective industrial action,’ said the statement.
Senator Le Sueur said that he could not comment on the message until he had fully considered it.
