Wednesday 2nd March, 2011
Reports of retrenchment at the Vehicle Maintenance Company of Trinidad and Tobago - VMCOTT - a State Enterprise have left workers upset.
Reports say 25 employees were given dismissal letters yesterday. The affected workers are from both the Port-of-Spain and San Fernando facilities and the remaining workers are worried about their job security.
The dismissed workers have been given 45-days notice and told not to report to work unless called to do so.
The termination notices were signed by VMCOTT Chief Executive, Joel Brown. The letters tell the workers that the company is losing the contract to provide maintenance to the
Public Transport Service Corporation - PTSC - and would therefore be unable to keep its current workforce.
Those laid off include mechanics and store personnel
