00:00Today's action is basically a continuation of what would have happened last Friday.
00:06We still have the same issues.
00:09Outside of what has been said by the management's press release, the issues still exist, and
00:15we are here again highlighting setbacks.
00:17Executive vice president of the OWTU, Marcus Cordner, as he spoke with members of the media
00:23on Thursday, he said workers want the commission to remove a number of its derelict vehicles
00:29from their workspace.
00:31The problem is that most of the vehicles are defective.
00:33Vehicles did leave, probably one or two, when they were repaired.
00:39That has been something that has been discussed.
00:40The fleet has aged, and we have been asking and discussing stuff like that for the longest
00:44while, but no results have come from any of those discussions.
00:48Following last week's protest by workers, TNTEC released a statement assuring the public
00:54that all is well in terms of reliability of power supply.
00:58Mr Cordner says that this is not the case.
01:02Well, they are saying what they are saying, but we on the ground here see different.
01:07Have you been contacted by the authorities to go back to the negotiation table?
01:12No, no, not as yet.
01:13So what's the next move?
01:14The next move is that we're here until.
01:17Elizabeth Williams, TV6 News.
