Workers of Administrator General’s Department to resume normal duties tomorrow following meeting with Union and Labour Ministry

Workers of the Administrator General’s Department (AGD) in Downtown, Kingston are to resume normal duties tomorrow under a flexible work arrangement.

This follows today’s meeting with the Jamaica Civil Service Association (JCSA) which represents some of the workers, the management of the AGD and the Labour Ministry.

Several workers have been off the job since last Friday, due to mould, as well as air quality issues due to renovations at the facility.

Some of the issues date back to more than 9 years and the JCSA says a number of workers have developed respiratory illnesses.

Speaking to IRIE FM News this afternoon, President of the JCSA Techa Clarke-Griffiths said an agreement was reached between the Union and the management of the AGD.

She said effective tomorrow workers who are able to return to work will do so while other staff will work from home.

However, she said other meetings are to follow.

She said the parties also agreed that there will be no victimization on either side.
