And, the C.W.U.’s president placed on record the union’s inability to go up against the Port of Belize in court. Hyde says his union simply does not have the resources to go the distance.

“The Union itself would like to state for the record that we are in a position where it would appear that there is going to be some kind of battle of attrition where we know we cannot win that ball game. We cannot, we don’t have, the capacity to be engaged in some kind of protracted litigation confrontation where the resources of the receivership and creditor to P.B.L. would drag us from here to the C.C.J. and back on every imaginable issue. We do not have the resources to do that. Even when you are able to prevail legally, the resources it consumes, financial and time is going to have a significant effect on the stability of the unions, significant.”
