Click, click, reload and roll over. That's the theme of tomorrow's "massive" protest by the Public Services Association (PSA). PSA president Watson Duke said he was anticipating close to 25,000 workers to join in the action, beginning at the Financial Complex in Port-of-Spain. In an interview, Duke said: "The protest will be massive, massive, massive. "We have permission from the police...We will have music trucks."
The PSA had refused to accept the Government's five per cent wage offer to public servants. Duke said this year there would be a new and improved approach to the manner in which the PSA's strategies would be executed. "We want to make our disenchantment known," he said. Duke added that the PSA had support from most of the major trade unions and those unions who failed to demonstrate support "will be reprimanded."
"We are coming out with a renewed approach, renewed fight and we intend to do things differently," he said. "We are going to up our tactics and strategies and try to get resolve." Duke said the march, which is expected to take place through the streets of Port-of-Spain, will begin at 7 am and end at 1 pm.
