Petrojam technical staff stage sick-out
KINGSTON, Jamaica – After not being able to reach a decision over months-long wage negotiations, several members of the technical staff at the state-owned oil refinery Petrojam Limited reportedly staged a sick-out on Wednesday.
President of the Union of Clerical Administrative and Supervisory Employees, Vincent Morrison, revealed that despite an agreement being reached between the management and union, the Ministry of Finance and Public Service has intervened in the negotiations, granting approval for a lower offer than initially agreed on by the staff and Petrojam’s management.
Observer Online understands that this has angered the staff, prompting the sick-out.
