Turf Club accuses Mandate of campaign of misinformation

THE on-going dispute between the Turf Club and its employees, the Turf Cub Officials Association (TCOA) and their trade union, Mandate, warmed up yesterday when the Turf Club issued a statement.

The statement said: “Over the past week a great deal of misinformation has been circulated by the members of the Turf Club Officials Association (TCOA) and by their trade union Mandate.

“While it was not the wish of the Turf Club to conduct its industrial relations by press release or, at this point in time, to comment on the upcoming industrial action by officials we believe we have no option but to respond given the level of misinformation.
