NTUC joins condemnation of firings

The recent spate of firings involving BAHA employees has caused uproar in the Public Service Union which represents close to a thousand active employees in the government service, with president Jacqueline Willoughby Sanchez, leading the charge. Yesterday, the People’s United Party joined in the condemnation of the firings and today the National Trade Union Congress of Belize has joined the fray calling on the government to stop the “termination without cause, to ensure that due process is the cornerstone for justice in labour issues, to uphold the citizen’s right to work and to deal with unjust labour practices that are prevalent. The BAHA employees: Indira Gentle, Myrtle Jones, Nadine Hegar and Raquel Rivera were sent packing on Friday, November seventh.
