NWU/WINFRESH Collision Course

THE EDITOR,
An industrial row is brewing between the management of WINFRESH Ltd and the National Workers’ Union.
Late December 2009 two workers employed with the company had their services suspended for alleged mis-conduct at a staff party hosted by the company in December of 2009. The workers were suspended for one (1) month without pay.
The NWU contends that a copy of the suspended letters was not sent to the NWU and that the employees were off duty at the time.
The NWU has since met the company officials requesting a withdrawal of the suspended letters and that the employees should be paid for the period. The company has refused.
A general meeting of WINFRESH employees is being called at which workers will decide the way forward.
