WORKERS AT THE Bridgetown Port returned to work this evening after talks were held between management and the Barbados Workers’ Union.

The workers walked off the job after Coast Guard officers were brought in to replace crew members who had called in sick.

It is understood that the usual procedure is for reserve workers to be called out in such a situation.

BWU general secretary Toni Moore said management later apologised for the action and workers went back to their posts. (BN)
