Cancerous growthsand unions

THE EDITOR: Belonging to a trade union is a good thing until it starts taking over normal functioning. Like the cancer that infected the sea bridge, it lies dormant until it suddenly attacks, again and again. I expect the possibility of a pain flare-up when the Galleons Passage arrives. In the meantime staff at the Civil Aviation Authority have started experiencing problems. Wherever the Public Services Association imagines itself as necessary medication for problems, real or imagined, we are struck with too much advice from an over-zealous “doctor.”

The public should expect disruptions to normal services in as much as it has been reported that civil aviation workers are not part of the PSA and that they need help. The leader of the PSA, Watson Duke, is anxious to remedy that situation. He claims that the workers anxiously brought their concerns to his attention. The current pain reported includes rostering of unsupervised staff and staff being being victimised for being ill. The talk of inadequate staff supervision leading to stress and other tralala quickly galvanised the ever militant PSA head to call a press conference.

Do we see the patient named TT falling sick with secondary growths from the sea bridge cancerous primary growth? Was it too soon for TT to claim a clean bill of health because the Tobago Jazz Festival was deemed a success?
