ST ELIZABETH, Jamaica — President of the Southern Taxi Association, Charles Powell, says he and his members are frustrated even as they await the outcome of Monday’s meeting with Transport Minister Daryl Vaz before any strike action is considered.
“I told them that the minister called us to a meeting. All the presidents across the island, so we can’t go on a strike. We have to wait until after the meeting,” he said on Monday amid a strike threat.
“If he did not call us to a meeting, then the members would strike across the length and breadth of Jamaica. [We] are waiting to see what comes out of the meeting,” added Powell.
