And, finally tonight, there's one more threat of industrial action. The Christian Workers Union today sent a letter to the Minister of Labour announcing that it is invoking the twenty-one days' notice to institute industrial action against Port of Belize Limited.
The letter says, quote, "Following the surprise Government of Belize acquisition of the Port, on behalf of our Stevedore Members CWU compromised and made significant sacrifices to resolve legacy differences with the former owner and to turn the page...CWU and Stevedores have made reasonable proposals for win-win outcomes. However, this week hopes were dashed for such outcomes." End quote.
They say that they want to conclude negotiations and get a new CBA.
We'll have more on this next week.
