The Barbados Union of Teachers (BUT) is not pushing for a remedy relocation of St Bartholomew’s Primary School from Parish Land, Christ Church, in spite of concerns about environmental conditions affecting both staff and students.
President Rudy Lovell told the Weekend Nation they were willing to give Grantley Adams International Airport (GAIA) Inc. enough time to seek solutions to the smoke emissions from the incinerator, which were impacting the school.
Staff have complained of respiratory ailments caused by toxins released by the smoking incinerator, which is scheduled to operate seven days a week.
