A group of striking employees at the Sanitation Service Authority (SSA) Wildey depot are back on the job after a short work stoppage on Friday.
The action, which was initiated by members of the Unity Workers Union (UWU), was taken to protest a temporary worker not having her contract renewed as well as management advertising a supervisory post in which someone is currently acting.
Richard Greene, General Secretary of the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) which is the bargaining agent for some of the SSA workers, told Barbados TODAY that the union had not given the green light for any of its members to take part in the action.
“We understand that members of the NUPW who were willing to go to work could not because they were relying on the workers who stopped working to carry out their duties,” he reported, though indicating that some members had been part of the work stoppage.
Greene advised NUPW members at the SSA that there was a procedure for resolving all grievances that should be followed.
