In two weeks, the Treasury Building in Bridgetown will be almost empty.

Minister in the Ministry of Finance Ryan Straughn made this promise to scores of frustrated workers at the Barbados Revenue Authority (BRA) who walked off the job yesterday around 10 a.m.

They had become even more fed up with what they described as unbearable conditions in the “sick building” which was compounded by faulty air conditioning.

Straughn told some of the 160 BRA workers they would be relocated to the nearby Bridge Street Mall by October 14 where the Rural Development Commission (RDC) and the Urban Development Commission (UDC) are housed. (TG)
