Speaking on TV6 on Tuesday, Elder said the union was sent a letter along with a flashdrive containing retrenchment notices to 468 workers earlier that day. "We realised that those notices were not in compliance with the laws of TT, not in compliance with the Retrenchment, Settlements and Benefits Act (RSBA), and not in compliance with what is expected of good and proper industrial relations.
