What about appointments at the NA Technical Institute?

Dear Editor,

Sometimes one cannot resist laughing when the actions of certain individuals are in the news. One of the most recent has been the protest concerning the appointment of the Chief Education Officer (ag). A few months ago, workers employed at the New Amsterdam Technical Institute took industrial action to highlight their grievance. Workers with many years of service are yet to be appointed. The situation remains the same.

The Teaching Service Commission (TSC) and Public Service Commission (PSC) can only act on what is brought to their attention. Where are those workers’ representative organizations? Who is fighting for the cause of those workers?

Certainly the Chief Education (ag) has company here.

Yours faithfully,
Flavio Da Silva
