Will Duke lose PSA position?

Having been in the post some eight years, it reasonable to expect that he might be outvoted in their upcoming elections.

Granted this is not the US where a president can serve only two terms, Duke should reasonably expect that he could be democratically ousted. His opponents are allegedly waiting anxiously to boot him out.

Ever resourceful, Duke is moving into front position to fight the Chaguaramas Development Authority (CDA) sending home 50 monthly paid workers and diverse others exceeding 150 people (Express, March 27).

In ensuring that he is still to be viewed as defender extraordinaire for these workers, Duke held a press conference outside the CDA headquarters to warn the “sinister” Government of his intended actions on behalf of the workers.

It has been established that the CDA is in debt up to $100 million and running a deficit of $1 million a month. Salaries far exceed income and retrenchment of some workers appears inevitable.

Let us now consider the personal employment pain facing Comrade Duke.

Should he lose the PSA elections, does he revert to his WASA position? The rule is that only bona fide leaders of trade unions are eligible to get time off from their substantive appointments to attend to union duties. Does Duke now have to resign from WASA in order to service the THA Minority Leader appointment? Lynette Joseph Diego Martin
