You are talking about fake news.
See for yourselves what is going on at the Water Authority of Fiji depots.
Those are the words of Fiji Trades Union Congress and National Union of Workers General Secretary, Felix Anthony when asked on the gathering of people at the Water Authority depots from this morning.
Anthony also says that anyone that has worked more than 12 months is a permanent worker for the Water Authority and the Authority should not start saying that these workers told to finish off yesterday were project workers, and have to reapply for positions for other projects.
We are currently awaiting comments from the Water Authority of Fiji Chairman, Bhavesh Patel on how many workers finished off yesterday and the status of their contracts. Patel will also confirm what is the status of the people sitting at WAF depots in different parts of the country.
Authority’s Operations Manager Sekove Uluinayau says this is standard practice in the Water Authority of Fiji in regard to temporary workers, and staff are well aware of this. Uluinayau says it is quite unfortunate that the unions have spread this information and this has negatively affected the Water Authority family who are a close unit.
The management met with staff at Wailoku Depot to address their issues and receive their applications for temporary workers’ project placements.
Stay with us for updates.
