Acting PM frowns on lawless behaviour of WASA workers

Acting Prime Minister Joan Yuille-Williams said yesterday she told officials of the NUGFW that they couldn’t engage in the kind of lawless behaviour which characterised the protest action on Wednesday at WASA offices, where daily-paid workers stamped on the desks of clerks. Yuille-Williams, who met with Robert Guissepi and other officials at Whitehall following a Cabinet meeting, stated that at the start of her discussions she raised the unacceptable behaviour of the workers during protest action.

“They (the union representatives) apologised to some extent and said they wanted to get a hearing and attention,” she said. “They said that they did not wish to go against the law and they were sorry for that kind of action,” she added. Yuille-Williams indicated she did ask union officials to save Trinidad and Tobago. She said she was given the impression that the workers were very much concerned with the future of the company.
