Employees of the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) staged a walkout on Monday morning, abandoning several workstations and assembling outside the utility's headquarters at the corner of Independence Avenue and High Street. According to Antigua News Room, the workers were accompanied by their union representative throughout the demonstration.
The protest began at the Cassada Gardens facility before the workers marched along Old Parham Road, raising concerns over pay and pension issues that have yet to be resolved with management.
The walkout marks a visible escalation in tensions between APUA staff and the authority, with workers taking their grievances public in a coordinated show of solidarity. The presence of union representation signals that formal labour channels are engaged in the dispute.
Further details surrounding the specific demands and the authority's response were not immediately available. Antigua News Room continues to follow developments as the situation unfolds.
