CableVision services were severely disrupted again yesterday as a staff sick-out dragged on for a second day.

A handful of staff returned to work yesterday and the company's Church Street office was closed again.

A company spokeswoman said the Church Street office will open again today and some repair and installation work was carried out yesterday.

She would not disclose how many members of staff came back to work yesterday, but The Royal Gazette understands it was a handful.

Staff began the sick-out on Thursday in protest at not receiving a back-dated pay increase which was awarded through arbitration.

The company says it will pay the money when a collective bargaining agreement is signed.
