The Public Service Union (PSU) of Belize has issued a strong condemnation of the Ministry of Constitution and Religious Affairs, Indigenous Affairs, and Transportation for allegedly pressuring public officers at terminal management units to resign or face termination. ​ The PSU claims this ultimatum is tied to plans to privatize bus terminal management, which violates labor laws and disregards the rights of public officers. The Union has called on affected employees not to resign, as doing so would forfeit their tenure, accrued service, and superannuation benefits. ​ The PSU is demanding an urgent meeting with government officials to address the issue and ensure that any changes are handled lawfully, protecting workers’ rights and benefits.

Solidarity forever!

These changes, approved by the Ministry of the Public Service and Disaster Risk Management with support from the Ministry of Finance, took effect on May 1, 2025, and are now formally documented in the Compendium of Allowances.

Key Allowances Now Included:

  • For the National Fire Service:
    • Hazard (Danger) Allowance: $200 per month for all firefighters.
    • Hazard (Wet and Dirty Conditions) Allowance: $300 per month for all firefighters.
    • Availability (Quick Response) Allowance: $200 per month for firefighters assigned to EMS and certified paramedics.
    • Increased Housing Allowance: $300 per month for transferred firefighters not provided with quarters.
  • For the National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO):
    • Availability (On-Call) Allowance: $150 per month for assigned officers.
    • Hazard (Wet and Dirty Conditions) Allowance: $150 per month for assigned officers.
  • For the Ministry of Health & Wellness:
    • Hazard (Danger) Allowance: $200 per month for Assistant Radiographers, Domestic Auxiliaries, Patient Care Assistants, Dental Surgeons, and Dental Assistants.

These allowances apply to both officers governed by the Government Worker Regulations and the Public Service Regulations, ensuring broad coverage across essential services.

Circular Memorandum 2 of 2026, signed by Chief Executive Officer Rolando Zetina, underscores the government’s recognition of the demanding and often dangerous work performed by these public officers. The PSU’s unwavering commitment to fair compensation and improved working conditions has once again yielded tangible results, reinforcing the union’s role as a vital advocate for Belize’s public servants.

Solidarity forever!
