T&TEC workers this morning voiced their displeasure after nearly 200 workers received disciplinary notices for staying home on September 7th. Branch President Peter Burke for the OWTU believes this is a vindictive act and is cautioning the commission to do what is right. And on Thursday all unions met outside TSTT, to battle what they term, the government's model, to bust unions and their solidarity. This was one of the main messages conveyed when the Communication Workers Union protested outside the Communication Company. They were joined by others such as the Amalgamated Workers Union and The Steel Workers Union to send a resounding no, to a Company move, which they say will end, in job losses. Secretary-General, Clyde Elder says he believes the action, is one, meant to undermine the job security of TSTT workers. Mr. Elder says, if they if they do nothing now, other industries and companies will be hassled such as WASA and T&TEC, creating massive unemployment in the land.
