The Jamaica Teachers Association (JTA) is insisting that it will not sign the MoU3.

"The teachers have not benefited from the first MoU and they have not recovered since," said JTA President Ena Barclay.

But, Danny Roberts, second vice-president of the Jamaica Confederation of Trade Union said the teachers would not receive more benefits than other public sector workers if they negotiate with the Government on their own.

"One of the things that will be inside the MoU3 is that no other bargaining unit can get any more than that which has been obtained in this centralised bargaining process," Roberts said.
