Public Services Association (PSA) president Watson Duke will not be fired from the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) as the utility s CEO Lennox Sealy has retracted warning letters sent to Duke and also granted him an extension of his no-pay leave for another four years, in order for him to attend to PSA duties.
In a letter sent to Duke on Thursday, Sealy withdrew warning letters sent on March 9 and April 14, calling on him to account for his absence from WASA for some 11 years – on no-pay leave – to focus on his role at the PSA.

MINISTER of Public Utilities Marvin Gonzales has said the Water and Sewerage Authority’s (WASA) action against Public Services Association (PSA) president Watson Duke must not be seen as a direct attack.
Instead, he said, it should be viewed as part of the authority’s transformational process.
“It’s not about Watson Duke against the government or Duke against Sealy or Duke against the minister. This is the government undertaking the transformation of WASA. So I have asked them (WASA executive) to focus on the work of the transformation and not to make it anything personal,” he told Newsday on Monday.
