The National Union Of Public Workers (NUPW) has vowed to bring its full might down on those who prevented workers from attending yesterday’s march.
NUPW acting general secretary Rosalind Smith levelled the charge of intimidation against Government and Government departments.
Smith, who was responding to a question about the numbers who braved intermittent showers to gather in Queen’s Park, The City, surmised intimidation was the reason for the low turnout.
Police estimated 120 people took part in the demonstration which wended its way from Queen’s Park, to Roebuck Street then along Pinfold Street, Magazine Lane, James Street, Tudor Street, Lower Broad Street, Prince William Henry Street, Swan Street, Crumpton Street and then back to Queen’s Park. The march was in support of retrenched National Conservation Commission (NCC) workers whose case is still pending before the Employment Rights Tribunal.
