GENERAL MANAGER of the National Conservation Commission (NCC) Keith Neblett and members of the board held a separate meeting earlier this evening at the Ministry of Labour in Warrens, St Michael.
Neblett and the Board, as well as representatives from the Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU) and the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) are meeting with acting Minister of Labour Senator Maxine McClean.
They are discussing the retrenchment of almost 200 workers from the NCC.
While Neblett and the Board held their meeting, the BWU and NUPW contingent were still huddled in the conference room.
Senator McClean and deputy chief labour officer Victor Felix engaged in light conversation while the NCC group met.
When the NCC executive concluded their meeting, all parties returned to the bargaining table. They have been in discussion for more than five hours today. (YB)
