Last night's headline was about the Belize Communication Workers for Justice - after BTL agreed to pay them their severance. Their leaders were thankful but noted that the union which they helped found, which is for current employees, showed them no solidarity.
Well, the Belize Communication Workers Union has fired back with a lengthy release saying those statements were misleading. They say, quote, "the BCWU has remained actively and consistently engaged with BTL and all relevant parties to ensure compliance with the Caribbean Court of Justice's judgment, safeguarding current BTL workers' rights, and supporting former employees affected by the matter." End quote.
After providing a detailed timeline, they say, quote, "BCWU regrets the public attacks directed at its Executive and our membership throughout the resolution process and reiterates that every action taken was guided by the best interests, safety, and expressed mandate of its membership."
