(Antigua Observer) Following an urgent meeting held earlier this week, the Antigua and Barbuda Trade Union Congress (ABTUC) has shared their intent to reach out again to the Prime Minister and Cabinet for consultations over the latest policy involving unvaccinated frontline public sector workers.
This new policy stipulates that unvaccinated workers must be tested twice monthly at their own expense or risk the possibility of being sent home without pay.
Vice President of the ABTUC Esrome Roberts revealed that the union has always been willing and available for consultations and have previously reached out to the PM for such a meeting.
This initial request, he said, was left unanswered.
