A “mis­chief mak­er” is how for­mer pub­lic util­i­ties min­is­ter Mar­vin Gon­za­les de­scribed Pub­lic Ser­vices As­so­ci­a­tion (PSA) pres­i­dent Fe­l­isha Thomas, af­ter she claimed Gov­ern­ment was plan­ning to re­trench 5,000 Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty (WASA) work­ers.

At a Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) meet­ing at the St John’s Am­bu­lance Hall, Port-of-Spain, on Wednes­day, Thomas warned if the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) wins the elec­tion, they will axe thou­sands of WASA em­ploy­ees.

“The PNM has de­vel­oped a Cab­i­net sub-com­mit­tee re­port on the Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty. That Cab­i­net sub-com­mit­tee re­port says that the on­ly so­lu­tion to the is­sues plagu­ing the Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty is the in­cre­men­tal dis­il­lu­sion of WASA. Com­rades, that means every sin­gle work­er will be ter­mi­nat­ed, dis­missed, fired, sent home,” she said.
