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.
