Public servants in Trinidad and Tobago are gearing up for a day of prayer and reflection on Friday that could result in a shut down of the sector.
The Public Service Association (PSA) has stepped up its fight to save more than 2,000 jobs in light of the government's decision to establish a Trinidad and Tobago Revenue Authority (TTRA).
<span style="font-weight: bold">Workers employed at the Customs and Excise Division and Board of Inland Revenue have agreed to stay away from work on Friday to "pray and reflect" on the government's decision to terminate their jobs</span>.
The workers have been offered a Voluntary Separation Enhancement Package as it seeks to establish the TTRA.
The workers met with the PSA on Tuesday and claimed that they were being ill-treated by the Patrick Manning government.
PSA president Jennifer Baptiste Primus accused the government of deceiving the population and of forcing the Voluntary separation on the workers.
