Some workers with names withheld went to the EC’s municipal office in Wa threatening a boycott of the assignment, officials after which, pleaded they go and continue the assignment whiles the sort things out.
Some members are still to organize a press conference against E.C which they are going round contributing amounts to organize “myjoyonline.com” to take up the issue.
