The biggest union of the civil servants, the Fiji Public Service Association said as an affiliate of the Fiji Trade Trades Union Congress, FPSA is part of the FTUC statements being made by Daniel Urai and Felix Anthony about the Fiji Labour Party.

FPSA General Secretary, Rajeshwar Singh who was refusing to comment called us in the last hour saying that he wants to clarify that FPSA does not support any party.

However, he said the support for a party is through FTUC.

FTUC President Daniel Urai has stated that the representatives of all the unions affiliated with FTUC have decided that their support for the Fiji Labour Party should stop.

He said FTUC is also considering forming a political party.

Meanwhile, the Fiji Labour Party had earlier said that it is sheer hypocrisy for Anthony and Urai to accuse the FLP of not representing workers’ interests when the finger is pointing at them.

The Labour Party statement goes on to say that Anthony and Urai need to be told that merely attending overseas conferences every other month does not constitute representing workers’ rights.

We asked Singh about this and he said the overseas trips being taken by the office bearers is not new.

Fijivillage then questioned Rajeshwar Singh how many overseas trips he takes in a year.

We asked him how this benefits the FPSA members.

It is not known how many union related overseas trips in total have been taken by Singh.
