After a brief work stoppage on Monday morning, staff at Purity Bakeries Ltd are now back on the job.
According to a statement from the Barbados Workers’ Union, they had come out in a show of solidarity for a colleague.
“In December, an issue involving an employee of Purity Bakeries Limited was being investigated and subsequently became a disciplinary matter.
“As occurs from time to time, the employee in question, who is still a member of the Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU), decided to exercise his right to [alternative] representation and for over a month the BWU has not been treating to the matter.
“This morning, after being informed that the matter was no longer being handled by the BWU, the colleagues who turned out in a show of solidarity returned to their workstations just before 9:00 a.m.” (PR/SAT)
