Employers knock two-day shutdown

Wednesday, November 18th 2009

The Employers’ Consultative Association of Trinidad and Tobago (ECA) has openly condemned the call for next Monday and Tuesday for workers to ’stay at home’.

The call came from The People’s Democracy, which is a newly-formed joint body comprising several local trade unions and non-governmental organisations.

The ECA has said,’While we understand the need to urgently address some of the social issues underlying the call for a shutdown, we do not believe that the two-day shutdown is the answer.’

The umbrella organisation, which usually speaks as a collective voice on employer-related issues, is now telling employers they should resist any demand or threat made by workers or their representatives for time off with pay on the proposed ’stay-at-home’ days, November 23 and 24.

The ECA, which is now chaired by Ruben McSween, has said employers should know they are not obliged to pay workers ’for time not spent in the performance of their jobs’.

So ah lil survey - who staying home and who going to work?

^^agreed...

The other day the Post office/postal workers across here decided to buss a series if strikes and not go to work (via the TU); as a result alot of businesses said screw this and moved their deliveries/contracts to private firms.

At the end of it all Royal Mail now loosing even more money than before and those workers who were striking for better wages now face the possibility of not even havin one due to their actions.

Go ahead allyuh stay home.
