Outgoing president of the Congress of Trade Unions and Staff Associations of Barbados (CTUSAB), Cedric Murrell, still hopes that one day the Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU) will rejoin the fold.
Five years ago, the BWU cut ties with CTUSAB after the bodies disagreed over who should represent Barbados at the 2013 International Labour Organisation conference.
Murrell expressed his desire on Thursday at the 12th Biennial Delegates’ Conference at 3Ws Oval, adding that the BWU’s decision to withdraw five years ago was one of the unfortunate events during his time.
“It is my hope that now that the congress has come of age, now that it has demonstrated to all and sundry its maturity and independence of thought, that other decisions would be made to ensure that there is a united labour movement in Barbados,” he said. (TG)
