Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum said the mindset of many trade unions limits the progress of public sector reforms and he further questions the motives or the agenda of certain trade union officials.
While speaking on Public Sector Reform at the Certified Practicing Accountants Australia and Fiji branch Congress at the Sheraton, Sayed-Khaiyum said many union officials just want to have control and do not think of going forward with the employers in achieving progress.
He also questions whether the union officials really worry about the workers if they are driving around in state of the art vehicles.
Sayed-Khaiyum questions why trade union officials do not have a huge membership base where the most worker exploitation may be taking place.
The Attorney General states that this is the reality on the ground and people should not see his comments as union bashing.
The conference continues in Nadi.
