Wilson: Stay Alert, Ensure That You Have Your Walking Shoes Ready
Bahamas Union of Teachers President Belinda Wilson has placed her members on high alert. The union chief released a voice note today asking her members to not only be on alert but also “put on their walking shoes.”
Wilson also said she’s in communication with the government’s lead negotiator to request a meeting with Prime Minister Philip Davis and Minister of Finance Michael Halkitis.
The industrial action is looming over stalled negotiations on a new industrial agreement. Those talks have dragged on since November. The union is demanding a 20% salary increase over three years, but says the government has repeatedly returned with a salary package the union had already rejected.
