Operators disclaim sabotage to pump station
“We want to make it clear to the residents that we did not sabotage the pump station. After five months not receiving our shift allowance, it has become impossible for us to work like this."
LYDENBURG – An operator at the plant recently told the newspaper that the public should be aware that they did not sabotage the pump station in any way.
“In November 2013 we wrote a letter to the human resource department with regard to our shift allowances. They said that they will handle the matter and refer back to us.
