James Watler, president of the Cayman Islands Civil Service Association (CICSA), has sent a letter to the Deputy Governor’s office with copies to H.E Governor Duncan Taylor and CICSA Management Council, in which he says government had been advised to take legal advice over the “legality of unilaterally voiding the mutually agreed contracts of thousands of employees.” He also says it could expose the government to serious liability if it breaches the contracts held by a significant percentage of the service.

Watler also made a similar complaint as others have done over the premier’s announced cuts affecting them, saying his members had not been consulted that government workers would have to contribute to their healthcare and pensions.
