Health Authority Recalls Termination Letters for Hospital Maintenance Staff

The South-West Regional Health Authority recalled termination letters issued to 124 daily-rated maintenance workers, according to the National Union of Government and Federated Workers. The union instructed the affected workers to report for duty as normal. The letters, dated October 15, stated that the workers' temporary casual employment had been extended until October 16, 2026, and that they would be notified if services were required in the future.

The recall of the termination letters addresses a labor dispute involving maintenance employees employed by the South-West Regional Health Authority. The workers, who have been employed since April 2024, were stationed at San Fernando General Hospital and other regional healthcare facilities.
