The Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU) says it is celebrating a victory as the management of the University of the West Indies (UWI) Cave Hill Campus began the process of paying promised monies to staff yesterday.

“So, every expectation is that the money will roll out to others quickly. The Barbados Workers’ Union is pleased to record this yet another victory.
“Moreover, to the members of the university division, we say solidarity forever. Your unity is a strength, and we look forward to the university committing to the remaining payments. (AH)
