In todays Trinidad Guardian PoS passport office shuts down again No court injunction can stop immigration workers from staying away from work until proper conditions are provided, says president of the Public Service Association (PSA) Watson Duke. Shortly after 7 am yesterday, staff at the Port-of-Spain passport office walked off the job, leaving scores of frustrated people stranded without passports. The situation was more the same in San Fernando, where over 100 customers were turned away. Only few emergency cases were dealt with. Customers were told the office had minimal staff and it was not known when operations would be back to normal. Speaking yesterday at a press conference at the PSA’s headquarters at Abercromby Street, Port-of-Spain, Duke said “industrial action”, which the injunction sought to stop, did not include refusing to work under poor health and safety conditions. Duke produced a report from the Occupational Health and Safety Authority (Osha), dated July 4, that identified health and safety concerns at the immigration building at 67 Frederick Street, Port-of-Spain (see sidebar). He also cited incidents—the explosion of an electrical panel in which a T&TEC foreman was badly burned, the collapse of a glass window from the second floor and health problems among staff—that suggested the building was unfit for work. He said: “We don’t really want this injunction to be discharged. It could remain because it does not affect us. We have never protested. “The injunction simply restrains us from taking or continuing to take industrial action within the meaning of the said act (Industrial Relations Act). “What does it mean to take industrial action within the act? “It means to take things like strikes, lockouts, sympathy strikes, sit-ins, go slow... this is what it means to take industrial action. We have never done that.” [ Click the link to read this article in full guardian.co.tt/news/2014-07-08/pos-passport-office-shuts-down-again ]
