00:00We will not rest until Larry Acheong is removed from the benches of the Industrial Court.
00:06Larry has to go.
00:07He has to go. He has to go.
00:10President of JTOM Ansar Roje is asking for the removal of one of the judges of the Industrial Court, Mr. Larry Acheong.
00:17Roje said the unions are not pleased with Mr. Acheong's work over the years
00:21and he should not return to any position where he can't preside or influence matters involving the working class or the protective services.
00:30It's a relic of the PNM's attack on workers and working people and trade unions in this country.
00:38We cannot, dare not, shall not sit idly by and allow that to happen.
00:44Adding he has not forgotten how former Industrial Court President Deborah Thomas Felix,
00:50as she was given the news via telephone while on an assignment out of the country.
00:54He now questions the President's decision to renew Mr. Acheong's contract.

01:10So we find it passing strange now that on the rescinding of this, the previous government's cabinet note,
01:20to afford this government an opportunity to have a look and to review it and to pay close attention to the major stakeholder that the trade union movement requests,
01:34that all of that was disregarded and you have a unilateral extension conveniently.
01:42He says the workers in this country should be treated with respect, as it's the same workers that help fuel the economy.
