The planned protest by employees of the financial services commission (FSC) scheduled for Tuesday has been called off.

On Friday, news broke that workers at the FSC were restive after negotiations over wages and fringe benefits collapsed last Tuesday.

It was also reported that workers voted to stage the protest this Tuesday. 

However, in a statement the Union of Clerical Administrative and Supervisory Employees (UCASE), which represents the workers said the decision to call off the protest follows a meeting held this morning with the FSC, UCASE and the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service. 

State Minister for Finance Zavia Mayne urged the parties to resume discussions on the outstanding wage and fringe benefits negotiations at the local level.

UCASE said it will write to the company, outlining its proposal for settlement. 

The UCASE team was led by president,  Vincent Morrison and the FSC team by Executive Director, Lieutenant Colonel Keron Burrell.  

The parties have agreed to report back to the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service before, but not later than Friday, November 20.
