INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS UNREST is brewing at the Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).
General secretary of the Barbados Workers’ Union, Sir Roy Trotman, indicated such, noting the island’s largest trade union was far from happy with the state-run television station’s tardiness in establishing a performance appraisal system, which had been promised staff 15 years ago.
“We are very concerned about the approach of the CBC to its obligation to pay incremental adjustments to the staff.
“The matter of increments was an old issue, but was changed in 1996 because the Government of the day felt we should move towards a performance appraisal system, and that we should be able to give people adjustments in their remuneration based on the quality of their performance,” Sir Roy told reporters during a wide-ranging Press conference at the union’s Solidarity House headquarters.
