Minister of Public Utilities Barry Padarath has mandated the majority state-owned Telecommunications Services of T&T (TSTT) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Amplia, to put a hold on all human resource actions until further notice with immediate effect.
This comes after the board of TSTT refused to resign, Padarath said in an interview with Guardian Media yesterday.
An undated internal memo detailed that the directives applied across all categories of employment - permanent, temporary, part-time, contract, consultancy and contingent workers. The memo was issued by TSTT CEO Kent Western and was obtained by Guardian Media.
