Minister of Labour Colin Jordan is now fully aware of the grievances affecting security officers at G4S Secure Solutions Barbados (Ltd).
This was disclosed by consultant to the Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU), Sir Roy Trotman, after a closed-door meeting with the minister yesterday, amidst reports of the workers preparing to take strike action.
“We were able to indicate to him a number of issues which had been outstanding for quite some time, because they had not been escalated up to his office by the Labour Department where we had sent some of them,” he explained.
Sir Roy said the BWU had also raised other issues which were not sent to the Labour Department, but which had been occasioning significant challenges for the workforce, making it appear as though it was a battlefield.
In the last Midweek Nation, workers complained about some colleagues being offered pay increases while others’ pay remained unchanged. They said workers posted at the United States Embassy had been given a pay raise while those in the cash in transit division, aviation and guarding were to continue at the same rate.(RA).
