Union leader Nick Corbel has borrowed from Charles Dickens in criticising the Chamber of Commerce, who he says are ‘squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping and clutching’ for demanding that staff go back to work the day after Christmas.
The Unite official has called on the States to back Deputy Shona Pitman’s proposal to guarantee Saturday 26 December as a public holiday, due for debate tomorrow.
The States have already agreed to make the following Monday a holiday to make up for the usual Boxing Day break – and the Chamber of Commerce had supported that decision.
