No progress in talks as strike looms at B.T.L.
Late this evening, representatives of the Belize Communication Worker’s Union, B.T.L., and the Labour Department were meeting in last ditch talks aimed at averting a strike set for Thursday. The B.C.W.U. is protesting the dismissal of three employees without following the procedures set out in the collective bargaining agreement. A meeting between those same parties on Monday resulted in little progress. The union has declined to say what type of action it will initiate if efforts at a settlement are unsuccessful.
