More in-depth information needs to be provided on the nearly 200 retrenched National Conservation Commission (NCC) workers.
That was the consensus reached last night after another marathon session of talks between the NCC and the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) and Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU) held at the Ministry of Labour in Warrens, St Michael.
“I have concluded there has not yet been sufficient consultation between the parties on the selection of workers for retrenchment,” Minister of Labour, Senator Dr Esther Byer Suckoo said after emerging from the five-hour-long meeting around 10 p.m.
“The NCC agrees that in order to move this process forward, more in-depth information is needed so we can have more thorough analysis of the situation,” she added.
Byer Suckoo had met the parties involved separately and in plenary sessions earlier in the day before the meeting was convened at 5 p.m.
The minister also noted that the NCC had given a commitment to provide the necessary information by today and hopefully by tomorrow, the parties would return to the negotiating table.
