Young Barbadians are not showing interest in joining the trade union movement and one human resource consultant has suggested that “the current leadership of the trade unions” may have something to do with that disinterest.
In addition, a survey commissioned by the Congress of Trade Union and Staff Associations of Barbados and completed by the Productivity Council in 2010 found there was still a huge segment of the workforce that was not unionized.
The findings of the labour survey were presented yesterday by the Productivity Council’s senior economist Olivia Chase during day five of the Week Of Excellence at the auditorium of the Ministry of Labour in Warrens.
Yesterday’s theme was Strategic Development For Barbados Trade Unions. (MM)
