Joseph: Salary review for Defence Force

Monday, July 23rd 2007

In addition to enhanced physical accommodations, the men and women of the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force should receive an enhanced pay packet as well.

This from National Security Minister Martin Joseph who on Thursday delivered the feature address during the passing-out parade for a graduating batch of Regiment and Coast Guard personnel which took place at the Chaguaramas heliport.

"Not only do we need to provide you, our soldiers and sailors with the training and tools, but we must also ensure that you are compensated properly, that you have access to adequate and affordable housing," Joseph said.

He added: "In this regard the government obtained the services of a Defence Compensation Specialist from the Canadian Ministry of Defence to undertake a Salary Review for the TTDF."

Geezuz fockin Christ!
