The Oilfields Workers’ Trade Union is claiming that an energy company has refused to pay its former workers, despite a court order several years ago.
The OWTU’s Chief Education and Research Officer, Ozzi Warwick, engaged in a protest with former Lennox Petroleum workers on Tuesday.
He said the workers have been vocal over the years about the issue and even won a judgment against the company, ordering that workers be given retroactive monies owed to them.
Despite a timeline for workers to be paid, they are yet to receive these outstanding payments.
Mr. Warwick also claimed that the workers were dismissed in 2017 for standing up for a “safety issue.”
Calls to Lennox Petroleum for a response on the issue went unanswered up to news time.
