The Following is a Press Release Response  - 2024/05/05:

(Kingston, May 5, 2024)   JPS has confirmed that a meeting will be held at the Ministry of Labour on Monday, May 6, to address the issues raised by the National Workers Union (NWU) in a 72-hour strike notice served on the company. This meeting is being held at JPS’ request, as the company seeks to have the points of disagreement between itself and the Union resolved swiftly and amicably.

The company says it is committed to continuing the process of converting contract employees to permanent status, in keeping with its agreement with the Union. The conversions under this agreement are being done over a three-year period, starting in 2023, and are on track for completion by 2025, as agreed.

JPS is assuring customers that it has a contingency plan in place to minimize any potential impact on service delivery, should employees represented by the NWU proceed with strike action. The company is anticipating that the temporary breakdown in the conversation with the NWU will be resolved quickly and that the outcome will be satisfactory for all concerned.
