The MSPA wants negotiate at the level of individual sugar estates

Most trade unions represented by the Joint Negotiating Panel (JNP) yesterday denounced the refusal of the Mauritius Sugar Producers Association (MSPA) to negotiate before the board of the National Remuneration Board (NRB) concerning salary compensation and other benefits which workers of the sugar industry have been claiming.

The MSPA wants negotiate at the level of individual sugar estates, which the JNP stronglky disagrees with. The trade unions have previously threatened to hold a general strike in the sugar industry if the MSPA does not agree to negotiate for compensation and other benefits for all sugar industry workers with the JNP in front of the NRB.
