T&T: Strike done, back to work

THE TEN-WEEK strike at the Atlantic LNG (ALNG) Train IV construction site is over and the workers will be returning to their jobs next week. This was the announcement yesterday by Public Administration and Information Minister, Dr Lenny Saith, when he spoke with reporters during the tea break at the House of Represen-tatives. Dr Saith said: “For the last couple of weeks, I have been seeking to find a formula by which the parties could talk to each other and agree on a formula which would allow the workers to go back to work. It intensified this week. We met on Wednesday for about five hours, we met on Thursday for about five hours. We resumed today at about 11 am and after about three or four hours, and I am pleased to say that we have been able to find a formula that is acceptable to both sides, and the workers will be returning to work next week.”
