The Water Authority of Fiji says over 500 people have already applied for the jobs advertised by the Water Authority of Fiji in the last 48 hours.
In a statement, the Water Authority of Fiji says this includes many temporary workers whose contracts ended yesterday.
It says every year, WAF advertises for temporary workers to be a part of upcoming projects around Fiji and this has been practised for many years.
Water Authority of Fiji General Manager Legal Talei Ligairi says contrary to the Union’s claim, on April 1 workers were given a reminder that their contracts were coming to an end on April 30.
She says WAF and the National Union of Workers are due to reconvene before the arbitration court on May 7 to sort any issues out.
