Update: Workers from all C.O.Williams sites went on strike this morning choosing to withdraw labour in response to failed negotiations on salary and wage increases.
Deputy General Secretary of the Barbados Workers Union Dwaine Paul said that negotiations started in April but to date there has been no breakthrough.
After repeated failed negotiations the matter has been escalated to the Office of the Chief Labour Officer and workers will be withdrawing labour until the matter is resolved. (JRN)
