PAY-CUT FURY

SCORES OF TECHNICAL STAFF working for a company subcontracted by Digicel are up in arms with the telecoms provider.

Many of the workers yesterday morning descended on Government’s Labour Department at Warrens, about 100 metres from their Manor Lodge, Green Hill, St Michael base, to complain about what they described as a unilateral decision by management to slash their salaries in half.

Speaking to the DAILY NATION yesterday, the workers related how they were called into a meeting last Friday by operations manager for the telecommunications company’s “fibre-to-the-home operations”, John Brennan, and told of the decision.

In that meeting, the employees of operations company Actavo, who requested anonymity, said they were told that their pay from April onward had been reassessed. As a result of that exercise, their salaries would be 50 per cent less than what they had been previously paid. (AD)
