Communiqué – Extension of deadlines for Circular Letter Nos. S1, S1 (a), S2 and S2 (a)
In the context of the forthcoming PRB Report, the Bureau had issued Circular Letter Nos. S1,S1 (a), S2 and S2 (a) whereby Federations of Public Sector Unions and Staff Associations/Unions have been requested to submit their representations/proposals. The deadlines for submissions from Federations and Unions, dated 20 August 2023 and 02 October 2023 respectively, have already lapsed.
Further, it was highlighted in the relevant Circular Letters that in case no written submission is obtained from Federations/ Unions by the closing date, it would be assumed that they have no representations for the next PRB Report.
As per the records of the Bureau, it has been noted that some Federations and Unions have still not yet submitted their proposals and there have been several requests for extension of due dates from Staff Associations/Unions
In that connection, the Bureau is informing its stakeholders that an extension of the deadlines for Circular Letter Nos. S1, S1 (a), S2 and S2 (a) up to 31 December 2023 is being granted. Where no communication is received from stakeholders by 31 December 2023, the Bureau will have no alternative than to assume that they have no representation/request for the 2026 PRB Report.
