After years of negotiations, a pension plan is in place for workers at the Barbados Water Authority (BWA).
BWA management and Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU) signed off on Monday
on the deal which was executed in the last six months. Both the BWA and BWU said the previous deadlock was under a different BWA board and a different Government.
“[The BWA] has been dealing with this pension plan for at least six years,
but under the new administration [and board], we have done it in six months,” said BWA general manager Keithroy Halliday at the authority’s Pine, St Michael headquarters.
Chairman Leodean Worrell called it a “very special day” which spoke to the care any employer should have for its employees, as well as “one of the most beautiful ways to end the year”. She added: “We saw no reason why it should not be completed.” (CA)Â
