The Fiji Post and Telecommunications Employees Association have adopted a recommendation of $4.36 as the minimum hourly wage for members. Association general secretary Attar Singh said the recommendation was based on a report of a job evaluation conducted recently by a major accounting firm. The Association is optimistic of a positive response from employers.

He said the recommendation for an increase in minimum hourly wage was part of their campaign to provide some relief and improve the quality of life of workers and their families.

Mr Singh told they would now call on the Fiji Islands Council of Trade Unions to adopt the rate and push for this to be made the national minimum wage. The association is an affiliate of the Fiji Islands Council of Trade Unions.
