WHILE GENERAL SECRETARY of the Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU), Toni Moore, is pleased unemployment numbers are on the decline and there is economic growth in the country, she wants employers to ensure workers are paid more.

She made that call during a fiery 30-minute address at the BWU’s Family Day and Picnic at the National Botanical Gardens, Waterford, St Michael yesterday.
