Amid a wave of fir­ings and res­ig­na­tions across State boards in the wake of the April 28 Gen­er­al Elec­tion, one union leader is rais­ing alarm over the fu­ture of the Telecom­mu­ni­ca­tion Ser­vices of Trinidad and To­ba­go’s (TSTT) ex­ec­u­tive lead­er­ship.

The Com­mu­ni­ca­tion Work­ers’ Union (CWU) says it is con­cerned that the con­tract of TSTT CEO Kent West­ern may be ter­mi­nat­ed, based on in­for­ma­tion they re­ceived.

Speak­ing on the mat­ter, CWU Sec­re­tary Gen­er­al Joanne Ogeer said while the CWU does not rep­re­sent West­ern, the union is ques­tion­ing the mo­tive be­hind the pos­si­ble move, sug­gest­ing it may be po­lit­i­cal­ly dri­ven.
