Management at Courts and Servitech say the work stoppage earlier today was not a form of industrial action, but rather a COVID-19 positive case.

Trisha Tannis, managing director of parent company Unicomer, said they were following health and safety protocols.

“There was no [industrial action]. Management was made aware of a positive COVID case and asked the staff not to enter until we received guidance from the Ministry of Health. All staff were screened and a small number sent for testing. The operation reopens on Friday morning after the bank holiday,” she said.

Workers did not report in this morning and were seen in and around the compound. Potential customers were turned away as he entrance was blocked by cones. (CA)
