The Unity Workers Union (UWU) is putting Portvale Sugar Factory and its operating company, the Barbados Energy and Sugar Company Inc. (BESCO) on notice.
UWU general secretary Caswell Franklyn said the workers were not happy and they were biding their time.
“We will continue to work but when they bring in the new canes, we will be taking industrial action again and it will be more comprehensive than last time. I will not allow these workers to be abused, so the UWU is putting BESCO on notice,” he said.
This is following several workers calling in sick yesterday. Franklyn said it was not industrial action, as some of the workers had to seek medical attention. BESCO also reported minimal impact on its activities.
