Once there is a panel, this means the process will take longer.“Records will show that three arbitrators take longer, and our workers need immediate relief,” Duncan lamented.

He explained that the amendment in the Labour Act states that the minister has the authority to impose arbitration on both parties in the national interest.“Hamilton Green is putting the city of Georgetown at risk. If he has his own axe to grind with the President, then let him do so.”The municipality, in a release yesterday, stated that it was without requisite notice that the GLU encouraged its members to take industrial action. It noted that workers operating in the Stone Depot, Cemetery and Solid Waste Management have proceeded with strike action in the midst of the process of finalizing details for arbitration.As such, the municipality is of the belief that the action constitutes a breach of the collective bargaining agreement, the release added.It was also noted that the Mayor and City Council has always held, and still does hold, the welfare of its workers as a main priority,Brian Poole Falcons Jersey, and has been doing its utmost to promote the development of its employees and the organization.It was further noted that the municipality cannot meet demands that are above and beyond its capacity without compromising its core value to ensure the welfare and wellbeing of all of its workers.
