The Industrial Disputes Tribunal (IDT) has ordered disgruntled Jamaica Urban Transit Company Limited (JUTC) workers, upset about a salary deduction issue, not to engage in industrial action.

Further, the tribunal has ordered the company to refrain from making any salary deductions in respect of the alleged advance payments against arrears until the matter has been determined by the body in accordance with the agreed Terms of Reference.

The order, issued on Wednesday, follows the referral of the industrial dispute to the IDT for settlement by the Minister of Labour and Social Security under Section 11A(1)(a)(i) of the Labour Relations and Industrial Disputes Act.
