Eleven (11) employees of Irie FM who were allegedly laid off by the radio station’s management, are now back on the job following the intervention of the National Workers Union.
The workers were reportedly issued with the letters late Tuesday afternoon, which led to their colleagues taking strike action, resulting in the station going off air.
The NWU on Wednesday demanded that the management withdraw the letters with immediate effect.
Island Supervisor for Industrial Relations at the NWU, Kurt Fletcher, says workers who were allegedly barred from entering their work stations have been allowed to complete their tasks.
Mr. Fletcher says discussions are ongoing with the management of IRIE FM.
He says despite the prevailing, negative impact of COVID-19 on many companies, due process cannot be abandoned.
