The industrial dispute at the Barbados Community College (BCC) sparked by the termination of a maid has been resolved.
Ancillary staffers, who were off the job Wednesday in solidarity with their colleague, returned to duty following an emergency meeting between Chairperson of the BCC Velma Newton and Acting General Secretary of the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) Wayne Walrond.
Claiming the maid had been unjustly dismissed after four years of loyal stewardship and “satisfactory” performance, the NUPW had been demanding her reinstatement and immediate appointment to the post.
Walrond had accused the college of firing the worker based on an interview rather than measuring her on the performance she rendered during the past four years.
Walrond: Correct oversight
