The no-confidence motion against Barbados Union of Teachers (BUT) president Sean Spencer will be heard next Thursday.
A notice was circulated to members yesterday to attend a special general meeting at the Samuel Jackman Prescod Institute of Technology at 4 p.m.
This follows a January 22 petition, with the requisite 20 signatures from the general membership, led by former public relations officer Dwane Goddard.
It accuses Spencer of not demanding an apology from Minister of Education Santia Bradshaw for comments she allegedly made last year against teachers on the floor of Parliament and at the speech day of Christ Church Foundation School. The petition also said Spencer failed to implement a three-point plan agreed to by the BUT membership.
In the last Sunday Sun, Spencer said he was not afraid of a fight and saw the move as part of the union’s democratic process. He added a venue would be selected, and the meeting held seven days after notice was given by advertisement to the membership. (DF)
