Belize City Council Responds to CWU’s Allegations

On Tuesday, CWU President Evan ‘Mose’ Hyde came out swinging against the Belize City Council accusing the council of union busting. The claim comes after the council denied CWU’s request to attend a meeting concerning issues raised by the cemetery staff, twelve which are members of the union. Today, the council issued a statement in which it explains that the issues raised were resolved. In fact, the council says that the issues were addressed definitively, and to the satisfaction of the staff. The council says that during the second meeting, the staff raised additional concerns which stem as far back as six years and that at no time did the employees request the presence of a CWU representative.
