Frus­tra­tion and anger are mount­ing among work­ers of the Uni­ver­si­ty of the West In­dies (UWI) and the Uni­ver­si­ty of Trinidad and To­ba­go (UTT) over what they say are stalled wage ne­go­ti­a­tions.

The work­ers vent­ed their frus­tra­tions on the front steps of the Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion yes­ter­day af­ter they were told that the line min­is­ter, Dr Nyan Gads­by-Dol­ly, had sent di­rec­tives in the ne­go­ti­a­tions.

The UWI staff protest­ed at the St Au­gus­tine cam­pus two weeks ago and the ac­tion by the work­ers brought the UWI man­age­ment to the ta­ble.
