CEO Says PACT Pulling Together, Not Apart
posted (January 18, 2018)

Last night we told you about the re-organization at PACT - where all the employees were sent home for a week and asked to consider new terms of employment.  

Seemed to us from the wording of the press release that those new terms suggested different, lower pay arrangement.  Well, CEO in the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Forestry, the Environment, Sustainable Development and Climate Change, Dr. Percival Cho says that’s not the case.  He says there is no “retrenchment" happening.  He told us via text that “Staff have been offered salaries that are NO less than what they had before.â€￾  He adds, “other areas of admin costs have been reduced, not salaries.â€￾  And he finished off by saying quote,  “Half the staff have already agreed to the new terms and will return to work tomorrow. PACT will be open for business, but under a more efficient and streamlined operational structure.â€￾

We’ll surely stay tuned to see how it develops.
