TALKS WITH THE two credit unions opposed to the establishment of a cooperative bank are soon to get under way.

That is the word from president of the Barbados Co-operative & Credit Union League (BCCUL), Hally Haynes, who said concerns of both the Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU) and the City of Bridgetown Co-operative Credit Union (COB) related to the proposal would be aired in a series of meetings.

Speaking to the DAILY NATION shortly after addressing the BCCUL’s annual general meeting at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre last Saturday, Haynes said the league realised there was a need for dialogue.

“At the last special general meeting, membership gave us the go-ahead to continue the work with the cooperative bank.”
