The National Union of Factory and Commercial Workers Union took employer, FRINCOS Hire to the Employment court this morning over the company’s breach of the ERP .

It was reported that 52 employees who were members of the union were locked out of their work premise on Monday. The company had refused to deduct union subscriptions from members’ wages.

The workers had also reportedly walked off their jobs recently in demand for pay that was due to them.

Members claimed meal and other allowances owed to them were not paid by the employer.

The FTUC deplores such inhumane treatment of employees who committed their time and energy to work for the company and demands that FRINCOS Hire address the workers’ grievances.

The FTUC will not take kindly to intimidation of members by employers or from any other sector of the economy.
