NIC workers return to work

The communities in Spanish Town, St. Catherine that were without regular water supplies due to a strike action by fortnightly workers at the National Irrigation Commission (NIC), are expected to have their service restored today.



The workers returned to work, after an agreement was reached at the Ministry of Labour yesterday between the Bustamante Industrial Trade Union (BITU) and the management of the Commission.



Managing Director at the NIC, Donovan Reid said the Commission has been able to restore service to the Spanish Town water treatment plant, to facilitate water supplies to the affected areas.



Another meeting has been scheduled for Monday at the Ministry of Labour for representatives of the BITU and the management of the NIC to have further discussions on the matter.
