MINISTER OF LABOUR Dr Esther Byer-Suckoo says a settlement will be reached in the ongoing wages impasse between the Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU) and telecommunications company LIME.
She was speaking to the media after long awaited talks between the parties adjourned at the Labour Department’s Warrens Office yesterday evening.
“This matter is one that would have started sometime in November at a domestic level, would have gone over to the Chief Labour Officer and now it has been referred to me. While I would have been briefed and would have seen [the issues] on paper, I used today’s meetings [with LIME this morning and the union] to hear first-hand from the parties, what their concerns are,” she said.
The Labour Minister said coming out of those sessions she found that there were some similarities in the issues but still obvious differences and the parties involved would meet again today, based on their timetables.
