I have watched with some interest the CPO/PSA negotiations as reported in the media.
In lieu of a new, enhanced offer from the present administration, I would strongly advise PSA president Watson Duke and his colleagues to request that all applic- able taxes on the eventual payout be eliminated.
Notwithstanding the grouse over the CPO's proposed five per cent salary increase, knowing that they will be getting all of the amount due to them, albeit three years after the fact, may go a long way to appease public officers who (legitimately?) feel that they have been slighted.
