Thirty employees of Caribbean Dockyard and Engineering Services Ltd (CDESL) staged a heated protest outside the company's Chaguaramas compound on Thursday over delays in salary negotiations.
Speaking with Newsday, one worker said he was frustrated over repeated delays and called on the government to expedite the process to update workers' salaries.
"It's really frustrating that we have to find a way to live on 2006 salaries. We do a lot of dangerous work when it comes to repairs and maintenance of vessels, and our salaries simply don't reflect that.
