INDIAN employers are hiding toilet paper from African workers.

That is how far racial abuse has reached at the Chaguanas Borough Corporation, according to some employees.

“Everyday I have to deal with Indian workers calling me nigger and Black and ugly,” said one frustrated African employee.

TnT Mirror was told that African workers are subjected to racial discrimination on a daily basis.

“The Indian workers laugh at me as soon as I come to work,” explained another employee.

“At one time I was working on a project outside of the office and rain began to fall,” the employee explained.

“An Indian supervisor passed and picked up the Indian employees in his vehicle and left me standing in the rain.

“When I spoke about the incident, I was victimised even more,” the employee continued.

“Toilet and soap are sent for all the employees, but just to spite me the Indian workers hide mine and tell me that not enough was sent,” said the employee.

Mirror was also told that when the matter was reported to another senior boss, it was swept under the carpet.

“However, we spoke to the union and they agreed to address the matter,” said another employee.

“I asked for a transfer but was told that I cannot get one until I have worked two full years at the corporation,” continued the employee.

“So they are telling me that I have to stay here and take all this humiliation and verbal abuse day after day,” added the employee.

When Mirror spoke to no-nonsense Mayor Suruj Rambachan, he said he was unaware of the problem as no one reported the matter to him.

“If I knew of such an incident I would have dealt with it already,” said the mayor. That kind of behaviour is not right at all and I will look into it,” he added.
