TRISTAN:  WOMEN REJECT LATEST PAY OFFER

By J. Brock (SARTMA-TdC)

Part time workers at Tristan da Cunha’s lobster factory are still out on strike, with the latest offer made to them by the Company Rep at 1100 on Monday being rejected by them all.  The women all went home.

Monday was a fishing day and 4,414 KG of lobster were landed but placed into holding tanks until the women’s pay demands can be settled.
