President of the Transport Industrial Workers Union (TIWU), Shawn Roberts, says the union is prepared to intensify its protest action if it does not meet with the Public Transport Service Corporation’s (PTSC) General Manager and secure the withdrawal of a dismissal letter issued to a worker.
Speaking to Guardian Media, Roberts said the protest, which saw union members move through the City Gate transport hub calling for a meeting with PTSC General Manager Patrick Gomez, was triggered by what he described as an unjust termination.
“All the union is asking for is Mr. Gomez to meet with us and retract that letter. That is draconian measures, that is punitive measures,” Roberts said.
