It was decided the grievances will be debated at a meeting today, Wednesday, May 25, during the Comité Technique meeting initially programmed for today.
In the meantime the public services of the Collectivité will be open today at normal hours.
CGTG spokesman Albert Blake said he was satisfied with the outcome of the first meeting on Tuesday where an agreement protocol was signed.
“The Collectivité recognised that it was at fault and has committed to moving forward on the points discussed, but we will remain vigilant,” he said.
