Philipsburg:--- The United Federation Union (UFA) has sent a letter to all members of the island council on the three islands , St. Maarten, Saba and St. Eustatius requesting a meeting with them to further discuss their grievances with the managing director of GEBE William Brooks.
The letters dated on June 30 states that the managing director of the government owned company has failed to reach a consensus with the union regarding their Collective Labor Agreement. The union said they are at a brink of a deadlock. They suggested to the island council to request their list of grievances from the supervisory board who said they are unable to intervene in the ongoing dispute since that would create a situation of conflict of interest.
