PRESS RELEASE: GPS-WPA (THE GIBRALTAR PRIVATE SECTOR WORKERS & PENSIONERS ASSOCIATION)

The GPS-WPA has had numerous meetings and correspondence with the Government. This has mainly been about their manifesto commitment regarding a minimum income guarantee for this long suffering sector of our community.  

Year in and year out the Government has quoted to us the familiar phrase “IN THE NEXT BUDGET”. Unfortunately, as at today’s date, the GSLP/Liberal manifesto promise has not come to fruition.  

The Committee of the GPS-WPA has therefore decided to hold a member’s and supporter’s meeting on 3rd July in the Charles Hunt Room, at John Mackintosh Hall at 7:00p.m. when the way forward will be discussed by those present.
