BREAKING NEWS: No work for public officers on Thursday

Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, has said that work for all public officers has been suspended on Thursday as TS Isaac draws nearer to Dominica.

He called on the private sector to do the same.

“I have been advised and we have taken a decision to suspend work for the public service on Thursday, 13, September, so there will be no work for public officers,” he said at a press briefing. “We would like to private sector to follow in that same path, to have their employees stay home.”

He said those who work in the essential services should report to work.

Skerrit called on everyone to secure their families and properties as the storm gets closer to the island.

    Skerrit needs to tell clear harbour to respect people first and then the laws of Dominica. There should be no work for clear harbour employees tomorow thursday. Even though we are a poor country, we are not beggars Period!!!!!

    Is Skerrit really serious or he just likes to be in the news? Is he the PM of public servants and not the PM of the private sector? As Prime Minister all he had to do is DECLARE a NO WORK day on Thursday because of the storm. Based on his announcement the private sector is not under any obligation to call out work. When he declared a no school was it just for the government schools? Skerrit needs to understand his role as PM

      Nothing better is expected from you. These are the qualities of a UWPite. Pure arrogance and ignorant.

      Is this s Dictatorship? Public servants will be paid for Thursday as that is under the control of the PM. However private sector workers are not controlled by government so it has to be up to the private sector management to take such a decision.
