To Whom It May Concern,
For the past two years, there has been an ongoing and unresolved mold issue in the Roberts Building at APUA Gardens—the large blue building located next to the racetrack, currently shared by APUA and the Aviation Department.
Over the past year, the Aviation Department has been allowed to leave work at 12:00 p.m. daily due to poor ventilation, unsafe air quality, and extensive mold contamination within the building.
The Aviation Department also engaged a private professional to conduct air quality testing. The results of those tests confirmed that the building was not a safe environment to work in.
Despite this finding, APUA staff working in the same building were not afforded the same consideration. APUA employees were required to continue working normal hours in a building that had already been deemed unsafe by a private investigator. This unequal treatment places APUA employees’ health at serious risk.
At present, there are visible mold panels in the main lobby area, specifically where the time clock is located—an area that all employees must pass through daily to clock in and out.
This space also serves as a waiting area for customers accessing the internet services, meaning both staff and members of the public are being exposed. Photographs of the current mold conditions in this area are attached.
This is only one visible section; there are multiple other areas throughout the building affected by mold.
Employees are not requesting cosmetic fixes or simple panel replacements. We are requesting a thorough investigation of the building, including proper environmental and health assessments, and meaningful corrective action.
Our health and safety are at risk, and there is growing concern that management is not treating this matter with the urgency it requires.
We are formally requesting immediate intervention to address these unsafe working conditions before further harm is done.
Sincerely,
On behalf of affected APUA employees

Author: Why isn’t your wonderful union stepping up and defending you like they always talk about? Your union is rubbish and you know it and that’s why you’re now doing the naming and shaming attention seeking thing on this website but keeping paying those union dues like a good boy/girl. Antiguans are strange.
A central air conditioning system is the only fix for this situation. No amount of inspection and cleaning will suffice.
APUA is just a cash cow for ALP elites, after all the PLM government created APUA so ALP will spitefully plunder it, wreck it’s generators by sabotage to give out power generation contracts to the leading comrade of Syrian extraction, and other old ALP comrades get their old Cinema paid $6 million dollars and Cecil John broke family have their old shoe store building rented to sell inet top up even though the UPP government provided a new bencorp building with ample space plus APUA owns the building adjacent to the magistrate court on high street.
And the UPP bought bencorp to move APUA from Roberts construction building at cassada gardens and then the ALP got into government in 2014 and decided the comrade will continue get his build rented for over $60,000.00 per month, I wonder what APUA paying Cecil John building in rent per month, APUA could a buy generators over and over with all the ALP willful wastage and embezzlement, then the APUA has been commanded by ALP to pay to dredge Pahram harbor for that same Syrian family private investment in power generation to still charge the same APUA a monthly high cost for their fossil power LPG plant, wow! Somebody in Antigua crazy or they are such mafias that is stucked in the Lester bird era of gangsterism which I can see is emulated and institutionalized Gaston and these new young ALP politicians, and they have robin, molwyn and cutie to show them how they ripped off the country in the early days knowing that people couldn’t read and no free media was available except for Tim Hector newspaper.
