ALTERNATIVE MANPOWER will be brought in to clear garbage piling up on Barbados’ streets if the current strike by Sanitation Service Authority (SSA) workers forces Government’s hands.
Minister of the Environment Dr Denis Lowe made this clear yesterday as SSA workers continued strike action in response to a call from the National Union of Public Workers to show solidarity with public service colleagues forcibly retired from the Barbados Investment and Development Corporation last week.
“If we need to bring on some people for the time being to do some work, we will do that. But we want the process to be peaceful and we want the union to be able to do what it has to do on behalf of its members,” Lowe told the Daily Nation in an interview.
