Boycott against OD Brisbane and Sons denounced

Dominica's Public Service Union (PSU) has denounced a call by the country's labour minister to boycott a business enterprise whose owner is at odds with the Roosevelt Skerrit administration.



PSU General Secretary Thomas Letang says public officers do not support the boycott call against O.D. Brisbane and Sons.



Labour Minister Charles Savarin said letters written by the firm's owner Jerry Brisbane to friendly governments and institutions asking them to withdraw assistance to Dominica are dangerous.



Savarin's call for a boycott has been dismissed by PSU's Thomas Letang as a move that is not in Dominica's interest.



The trade union leader said he’s concerned that the move could impact on workers at the company.



The small Dominica Freedom Party which Savarin once headed has not only rejected the boycott suggestion but also called for the dismissal of the labour minister.
