And outside of all the clatter and combustion that defined the day in the Capital, union leaders were called to a very unusual meeting in the administration building. Government's legal advisor Gian Ghandi that an ICC representative wanted to talk to them about the suit they filed against ICC along with Michael Ashcroft this week. Apparently Ghandi and a legal counsel for ICC wanted to offer them a sweetheart deal to drop the case. Anthony Fuentes told us they walked out of that meeting.
Anthony Fuentes, BNTU President
"I must say categorically that this is improper to do as a member of the lawsuit, both BNTU and PSU and other small shareholders because we have already filed the lawsuit against ICC. We went and met upstairs of Gian Ghandi's office and after we settled down and sit down, I made it clear that it is improper for us to meet and all of us walked out of that meeting because the lawsuit has already been filed."
Jules Vasquez,
So you think they were trying to set you all up?
Anthony Fuentes,
"Well probably they wanted to maybe offer us some sweetheart deal or something like that. But we stand on principle. We have filed the lawsuit and we stand by what we filed."
