Dear Editor,
The whole nation should stand up and salute the civil servants of Jamaica for making what I term in my language a "lifetime sacrifice"; as revealed in the Jamaica Observer of March 7. This is no ordinary sacrifice, as is recognised by our prime minister and our minister of finance.
As the prime minister stated, she is exploring ways of reciprocating with the civil servants' goodwill gesture (my interpretation), apart from the NHT stuff that she identified. That is all well said in the "joy of the moment." I sincerely hope that this will not be forgotten by the current PNP administration, and that there will be no civil service positions put on the "chopping blocks" as could be expected by and through the IMF negotiations. This would be tragic, if that ever happened.
Let us move on to bigger and better things, now that one major hurdle is out of the way; and give honour and praise where honour and praise is due.
I extend my personal congratulations to the union of the civil servants and to each Jamaican civil servants. This is a major sacrifice to our nation in a time of economic and finance distress and needs
