Serious concerns are emerging inside a major statutory corporation amid reports that a former supervisor, dismissed nearly two years ago following multiple allegations of sexual harassment, could soon be reinstated.
Several female employees say they are deeply unsettled by the development, which comes as the country marks the global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, a period dedicated to highlighting abuse, exploitation, and inequality in all its forms.
According to sources, five or six women submitted written complaints at the time of the supervisor’s dismissal, detailing a pattern of inappropriate behaviour and sexual misconduct. In those complaints, the supervisor was accused of making unwanted sexual advances, requesting sexual favours in exchange for confirming employment, and using one-on-one performance sessions as opportunities to pressure staff.
When employees rejected him, he allegedly retaliated by issuing negative performance evaluations.
Some staff also reported that he frequently viewed pornographic material during work hours, contributing to what they described as an atmosphere of intimidation, discomfort, and fear.
The corporation later terminated the supervisor. He subsequently filed a claim with the Industrial Court, where the matter is still pending.
However, sources now say he has been holding discussions with government officials and may be reinstated as part of those negotiations.
Female employees are alarmed, saying the potential return of someone accused of such conduct sends a damaging signal—particularly at a time when workplaces worldwide are being urged to strengthen protections against gender-based harassment.
Adding to their concern is the long-standing criticism that, even in 2025, the corporation continues to operate with an entirely male senior management team, a structure employees say has contributed to a culture where women’s complaints are not taken seriously enough.
One staff member said the possibility of reinstatement feels like “a step backward” at a time when the country should be pushing for safer, more equitable workplaces.
NSWMA?????
Sources claim that allegedly it is APUA Call Center, elder Seven Day
Employees deserve to feel safe, not anxious. Leadership should prioritize the psychological well-being of workers, especially those who may have been directly affected.
Antigua.news always got some drama nobody knows about
Ah who Dat? Which business. Antigua.news I will stop following you guys. Giving half dead story. Give us the “power” to know lol
Is APUA or Inet? Or Flow..mi nah like story and no name..leaves us guessing
It’s not in any news source rights to release names of persons or businesses in these matters
Good inside job whoever spilled the bins. As a female staff nobody want a pervert around.
A workplace should always feel safe. If workers are already uncomfortable, leadership should pause and address those concerns before making any decision.
Statutory Corporations?
APUA??
NSWMA??
ABAA??
ABPA??
What will it take for women’s complaints against sexual predators to be taken seriously? When the judiciary fails women and they take matters into their own hands they are punished more severely than the sexual offender. Come on now….Women are human too and deserve to be protected. How will they ever feel safe again around this monster?
APUA? ASKING for my granny
