Disgruntled workers at a Lower Estate, St Michael manufacturing plant walked off the job yesterday.

Work at Precision Packaging Inc. ground to a halt when the entire morning shift comprising about 16 employees took industrial action.

Refusing to say why they took the drastic action against the company, the workers said they were advised not to speak to the media and that their representative from the Barbados Workers’ Union would issue any statement on the matter.

MIDWEEK NATION sources said a dispute had emerged between workers and management over changes to the long-standing shift system.

“All we can say is that everybody in the company facing the same problem,” one worker pointed out. (GE)
