Scores of Sanitation Service Authority (SSA) workers are threatening to leave garbage piled up across the island if Government does not urgently intervene to resolve issues that sparked a work stoppage on Monday.They are also demanding that general manager Janice Jones must go as they have lost confidence in her ability to lead.However, management of the government agency said it was disappointed in the “wild cat strike” which it said was a breach of social partnership relations.Well over 100 workers, including drivers, loaders and security officers at the SSA’s Wildey, St Michael depot stopped work from as early as 6 a.m. to press for a pay increase and more hazard pay and washing allowance, among other issues.The workers, who were later visited by the top brass of the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW), told Barbados TODAY they had had enough of the treatment being dished out to them and were not going back to work unless their issues were taken seriously and Minister of the Environment and National Beautification Adrian Forde intervened.
