Ropehead is one of the most (if not THE most) useless Ministers in Sh!tkicker's cabinet. Others would have been fired long ago for non-performance, but not her.

Then again what the public sees as non-performance may simply be an ability to keep her arsehole quiet and tow the line in the face of mounting union pressure (just another yes-man for this boola...ah mean bully of a Prime Minister to control)...

The Seamen and Waterfront Workers Trade Union is recommending that government axes 45 per cent of the staff at the port of Port of Spain.

President general, Michael Annisette says his union has submitted this proposal as it is the only way to make it viable.

The union boss says this proposal, however, has fallen on deaf ears and questions government's silence.

Job cuts hover over TSTT

http://www.guardian.co.tt/news/job-cuts-hover-over-tstt-6.2.685657.fe1e26406b

As many as 2,000 workers could be facing the axe as the Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT) rebrands itself into the TSTT Group of Companies by November 1.

The company, according to the representing union, the Communication Workers' Union (CWU), said that number included the 1,600 to 1,700 permanent workers and an additional 200 or so casual and temporary workers.

The company hosted its customary “health of the business” meeting for all TSTT senior managers at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Port-of-Spain, on Friday where the managers were informed of the upcoming changes and advised that seniors, outside of the union’s collective bargaining unit, would have to reapply for their jobs.

This means that some 364 senior managers will have to vie for 50 jobs when the company rebrands itself the TSTT Group of Companies.

This rebranding of the company is part of its restructuring process which could see hundreds more losing their jobs within the next month. The TSTT Group of Companies is expected to be rolled out by the end of October.

Friday’s meeting was led by TSTT’s chief executive officer Ronald Walcott and vice president of Human Resources Carol David. Both executives told the managers and professionals that the company would be renamed and they would have to reapply for their new jobs because the company was being split into four sub-companies- bmobile, Amplia, a tech division and a call centre.

The call centre and Amplia are already staffed and there would be no new jobs available in those divisions, according to company insiders.

Guardian Media was told that the senior members of the management team would also be losing their jobs in the restructuring exercise.

Even TSTT's own workers knew they were overstaffed.
Did a course in Cipriani about 10 years ago facilitated by a Senior HR Manager from TSTT and he said back then they could do their work with 50% the staff they had at that point in time.

He also said the bonus system was ridiculous and was not meant to reward top performers. His caveat was that he benefited from said PA system.
