FOREIGN WORKERS WILL be protected.

That was the promise of Minister of Labour Senator Dr Esther Byer Suckoo during her address at the Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU) 75th annual delegates’ conference held at Solidarity House yesterday.

She said a technical committee and special protocol would be created to ensure protection of migrant workers due to work on several hotel projects down to start in Barbados soon.

“We have for example the former Sam Lord’s Castle site which is being managed by the Wyndham Hotel Group, Sandals Barbados Resort extended expansion project and the Hyatt Centric Carlisle Bay Hotel proposed for Lower Bay Street,” said the minister. (AD)
