THE Steel Workers Union (SWU) has appealed the Industrial Court’s dismissal of their complaint against the Desalination Company (Desalcott) over action taken during the height of the covid19 pandemic.
In a ruling on September 26, the court’s vice president, Hubert Soverall, and chairman of its Essential Services Division, Larry Achong, agreed that Desalcott did not commit an offence in enforcing pandemic-related measures.
Court member Gregory Rousseau disagreed. On November 5, Rousseau gave his reasons for dissenting.
