The Jamaica Civil Service Association (JCSA) says workers of the Administrator General’s Department it represents, will not return to work today at the organization’s Downtown Kingston office.
This, after several AGD employees were forced outside on Friday to seek fresh air due to mould issues affecting the office.
On Friday, President of the JCSA, Techa Clarke Griffiths, called for the workers to be accommodated elsewhere until renovation works aimed at addressing mould issues are completed.
While giving an update to IRIE FM News, Mrs. Clarke-Griffiths said she is anticipating a meeting with the management of the AGD and the Ministry of Labour.
The JCSA President said the workers will not return to the building unless they receive a response in writing about mitigation measures.
She said the issue dates back more than nine years, adding that many of the workers have chronic illnesses.
