I do not know how much outside (the OWTU) support this proposed strike action has from the general working class and from the general public as a whole. But, before anyone sympathises with their action l would like Petrotrin, in keeping with the Freedom of Information Act, to publish a breakdown of the salaries currently being paid to their unionised workers.
On the last occasion this was published there was a huge uproar throughout the country as most secretaries were not receiving as much as "maids" in Petrotrin.
I think it is only fair that we all appreciate exactly why we are being held to ransom.
