Season’s Greetings turn into Season’s Struggles as Public Works Security Officers Share Grievances
Security guards at the Public Works Security Department have come forward with serious allegations of mistreatment, bullying, and neglect within their workplace.
The group of security officers claims to be enduring a hostile work environment, including verbal abuse, false accusations, and a lack of consideration for their well-being.
Expressing their concerns anonymously, the security officers highlight the conduct of a specific woman supervisor, who they accuse of consistently mistreating them.
According to the complainants, this supervisor not only subjects them to bullying but also fabricates stories that are presented to higher-ups, leading to further victimization.
The officers describe an atmosphere of fear and intimidation, where threats of termination and job loss are used as tools to enforce compliance.
The officers report being sent to various compounds without adequate shelter, exposing them to the elements, including rain and scorching sun, with no consideration for their safety and well-being.
One of the most pressing issues raised in the complaint is the constant rotation of security personnel across different school compounds.
The officers argue that this practice disrupts the stability that schools require, with guards struggling to remember the names of teachers, staff, and students, leading to confusion and inefficiency.
“We are dealing with school, and I think officers should be stationary, except if a worker is on vacation, sick day, sick leave, etc.,” states the letter.
Moreover, the officers claim that the management is making arbitrary decisions regarding the assignment of workers to different locations, regardless of their residence. This, they argue, is contributing to their dissatisfaction and unhappiness at work.
In a plea for intervention, the officers are calling on the Minister of Works, highlighting that many of the security officers, like the Minister herself, are women.
They request a meeting to air their grievances and seek a resolution to the ongoing issues that have plagued them for years.
The letter concludes with an urgent plea for help, emphasizing that the workers do not want to continue suffering in the coming year.
The officers are hopeful that their concerns will be heard and addressed, leading to a positive change in their working conditions.
The Minister of Works has yet to respond to the allegations, but the public is eagerly awaiting her stance on the matter and any potential actions that may follow.

Yes I am a Security officer at public works. And this woman supervisor is the worst human I ever encountered she is spiteful and evil plane evil. She wants to sue that she have power to deal with workers any old way because she know that nobody cares, she know that nobody at public works cares. Deducting people money for all kinds of ridiculous things . I was on sick leave and she take out all my money. Always telling workers after the coordinator is me using that to intimidate workers. She is forcing workers to used their money to buy uniform she want to see them in , when is public works that is supposed to provide uniform. She don’t want workers to take their lunch hour tell us workers they have to call her first. I for one I am depressed I can kill myself any time, because that is the little work I have to pay my bills and feed my children. This woman is fostrating me I can’t sleep at night I am worried that this woman will cause me to loose my job. We really really really really really really really really need help.
