With al­most 20,000 con­trac­tors and work­ers now on the bread­line, Op­po­si­tion Chief Whip Mar­vin Gon­za­les and Op­po­si­tion Sen­a­tor Faris Al-Rawi say their fir­ings are “wicked­ness,” “vin­dic­tive­ness” and “po­lit­i­cal pet­ti­ness” on the part of the Gov­ern­ment.

Speak­ing dur­ing a me­dia con­fer­ence at Bal­isi­er House, Port-of-Spain, yes­ter­day, the men chas­tised the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress’ (UNC) de­ci­sion to ter­mi­nate work­ers at var­i­ous state en­ti­ties over the past cou­ple weeks.
