BARBADIANS ARE STILL TOO INDIVIDUALISTIC and do not fully recognise the power of solidarity.
This was the cry of Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU) general secretary Toni Moore after the union’s 74th anniversary church service at St Michael’s Cathedral yesterday.
Reflecting on the union’s efforts at improving the nation’s workforce over the past seven decades, Moore told the media she was not happy with the attitudes of some workers.
“Recently I had the occasion to go back through some of our previous conferences and one of the things which was alarming to me was a quote from Sir Grantley Adams in 1946 where he was lamenting workers were still so individualistic and this perhaps was a trait carried forward from slavery,” she lamented.
