GENERAL secretary of the National Trade Union Centre (NATUC) Michael Annisette said yesterday they were consulting a senior counsel to review last Friday’s arrest of activist Alyssa Phillip during Labour Day celebrations in Fyzabad.
In a news conference hosted at the Seaman and Waterfront Workers Trade Union (SWWTU) Hall, Wrightson Road, Port of Spain, Annisette described Phillip’s arrest as not a simple matter, adding that he believed that there may have been constitutional issues in what transpired.
“I’m not going to pronounce on it and we are engaging senior counsel to discuss it so that they will guide us in terms of the constitutionality that we see that was breached by the police,” he said.
