After the last meeting, on November 21, Thomas reported the acting CPO Wendy Barton gave the union a letter committing to offer 10 per cent, following a presentation on the state of the economy. Dindial was overseas.

There was no fanfare at the CPO's office on Alexandra Street in Port of Spain unlike previous salary talks.

Both sides took a lunch break at 1pm. Talks were expected to resume an hour later. This is a developing story.
