?The head of the Barbados Workers’ Union, Sir Roy Trotman, is threatening to call out his troops for what he describes as an act of unfair dismissal, by an “Egyptian Jew” of 20 jewellery store employees.
The workers, said Sir Roy, were fired on Monday after they attended a weekend meeting to decide if they should establish a bargaining unit at their workplace.
Sir Roy made his comments in a fiery address to those at the annual May Day rally at Browne’s Beach yesterday afternoon.
Calling the dismissals “reprehensible”, Sir Roy urged all employers, especially Barbadian ones, “to tell these foreign people that this is not Syria, this is not Damascus, this is not Libya”.
