WE DON’T HAVE to hire you back!

That strong message was sent yesterday to retrenched workers of the National Conservation Commission (NCC).

Minister of Environment and Drainage Dr Denis Lowe, made the declaration as he sought to address claims that the NCC had recently hired 170 people, none of whom were part of the group of 186 workers laid off three years ago as a cost-cutting measure by Government.

He denied the rumours and insisted that the NCC was not under any obligation to rehire workers from that group whenever a vacancy arose. (RB)
