Hundreds of Sanitation Service Authority (SSA) workers will have good reason to celebrate this Christmas with a share of just over $300 000 from Government.However, outspoken trade unionist and former Opposition senator Caswell Franklyn has described the payment as an attempt by Government to get SSA workers to stay with the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) with whom it is “more comfortable”.Chairman of the SSA Ramon Alleyne disclosed today that 601 SSA employees will be given $500 each from the Pandemic Levy Fund during the Government’s COVID-19 Humanitarian Awards Ceremony for frontline workers who were not included in the first event last year.
