The Com­mu­ni­ca­tion Work­ers Union (CWU) has promised to “bust more files” on the Telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions Ser­vices of Trinidad and To­ba­go Lim­it­ed (TSTT) in the com­ing weeks, in or­der to es­ca­late scruti­ny amid al­le­ga­tions of fi­nan­cial mis­man­age­ment, po­lit­i­cal in­ter­fer­ence and poor treat­ment of work­ers.

The union again sharply crit­i­cised a re­cent three-day TSTT board re­treat in To­ba­go, call­ing it a “frol­ick­ing ex­er­cise” and a waste of tax­pay­ers’ mon­ey.

A Sun­day Guardian ex­clu­sive re­vealed that TSTT had been billed $436,081.78 for the ex­er­cise. The com­pa­ny has de­nied this was the amount but has not pro­vid­ed the in­for­ma­tion on the ex­act fig­ures.
