UCAL: $82 000 not enough

A cheque for $82 000 isn’t enough to stop the strike currently being staged by employees of United Commercial Autoworks Limited (UCAL).

The company received the cheque around noon today from the Transport Board.

And while it will cover the salaries of those weekly workers who were to be paid yesterday, it isn’t enough to end the two-day strike.

They say they will return to work only after hearing the results from a meeting which is scheduled to be held tomorrow morning between Ministry of Transport and Works, UCAL and Transport Board officials. (RB)
