TSTT should use trained staff for call services rather than outsource the operations to private companies, Communications Workers Union general secretary Clyde Elder said on Thursday. He was responding to reports that TSTT had not renewed the call services contract with DirecOne and hired another private contractor Call Serv to take over the operations.
Elder pointed out that the 200 workers contracted through DirecOne were not connected with the union, but said any news of any number of people losing their jobs should be a matter of worry for the entire country.
