Workers at the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) have left their posts at the utility’s Cassada Gardens compound in protest over working conditions and other grievances, and are moving toward the organisation’s headquarters.
The group, accompanied by officials from the Antigua and Barbuda Trades and Labour Union, was observed travelling along Old Parham Road at about 8:30 a.m.

I wish these workers well.
I hope they are not sold out by their Bargaining Agent, but I am not holding my breath.
I hope the workers will advise the reading public as to how the matter was dealt with and if they are satisfied (after whatever).
Just another day in a powerhouse nation.
When will the prostitutes stop liming and lining parts of St. John’s for better pay and working conditions?
And we spending money on sound system which by any stroke of the imagination, cannot be more important than workers working conditions and other things. Their bargaining unit is the ATLU and so this action cannot be deemed as political. Our priorities always seem to be lopsided. We only care about winning elections and after that is the same old nonsense..
Most useless organisation in Antigua. APUA should be sold to a foreign investor. Antigua is woefully inept and unable to run the utility company. They can provide either water or electricity 24/7 for 365 days a year. They are all a bad joke. Let a foreign company run the operations. At least it will be done better than we have
Good for you the workers of APUA.Stand up for your darn rights.Never give up your rights.Antigua is falling apart at its seams.The Government finds the money to invest in music instruments.Take those DAMN MONIES and clean the buildings owned by the Government.Gaston Browne,where are your priorities?
