After this reflection, we need to understand that they must remain united in whatever decisions or actions we decide to take,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>The union continues to express concerns regarding the delayed payments to PWC staff.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe remain concerned that employees are working but not being paid on time. They have debts owed to banks, face penalties for late payments, and risk having their services disconnected, causing significant inconvenience for them and their families,\u201d Letang stressed.<\/p>\n<p>He also mentioned that some workers facing these issues are in debt to others. \u201cFor example, some employees who owe money may feel compelled to look for shortcuts if approached. This situation causes considerable embarrassment for them,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he indicated that PWC management was presented with several options to address these problems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the most painful aspects is that we provided management with various options, including the acknowledgment that employees are unable to pay their bills, their utility services are being disconnected, and their credit ratings are deteriorating. All of this leads to embarrassment and inconvenience due to the late payments,\u201d Letang remarked. \u201cWe suggested that the employees come to the union, present their bills, including electricity and water bills, and any other monthly commitments. The union could then provide them with a loan, which they would repay once they receive their salaries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Letang reiterated that the situation with management has reached a point where employees of the corporation must take action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe employees, along with the union, have shown considerable patience over the years,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have negotiated for insurance and other benefits that have yet to be implemented. While we understand the situation, it has now reached the point where we must say enough is enough.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In an interview with Dominica News Online (DNO) on Wednesday, General Secretary of the Dominica Public Service Union (DPSU), Thomas Letang, revealed that the union is considering legal action against the Public Works Corporation (PWC) for the non-payment of social&#8230;","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":332835,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[235,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-332833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-homepage-carousel","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
