Operations resume at Kingston Freeport Terminal Limited following industrial action

KINGSTON, Jamaica—Kingston Freeport Terminal Limited (KFTL) is advising that operations have resumed at the company following what it described as an “illegal” industrial action involving some members of staff, which affected terminal activities for several hours.

KFTL, in a press release Friday afternoon, said it will extend its operating hours and has implemented measures aimed at facilitating the timely processing of cargo to minimise the impact of the disruption on its customers.

“At the invitation of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, representatives of the company attended a meeting today to facilitate discussions in an effort to address the outstanding issues,” the company said.
