CONCERNS about recently enforced security measures at the airport have been referred to the Ministry of National Security – which falls under Prime Minister Freundel Stuart – to consider solutions that will put immigration officers and other workers at ease.

In the meantime, industrial action in protest against the measures is off for now, according to Roslyn Smith, acting deputy general secretary of the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW).

Smith made the announcement following a “cordial” two-hour meeting with officials at the Grantley Adams International Airport (GAIA) yesterday.

“There is a process that has to be followed and we would await that process . . . . We will monitor as we go along,” she told the WEEKEND NATION, adding that although no deadline had been given for resolving the matter, she did not expect any long delays.

Posted by Clarke Beattie 1 year ago: After you fix the security issues at the airport, maybe you could make some useful suggestions to the TSA in the US where they continue to abuse six year old girls and people in wheelchairs.

Then, maybe, you could ask the usually unfriendly people who welcome visitors to Barbados (their very first contact with a Bajan) to smile and welcome them to Barbados. It would make such a lovely difference!
