N.T.U.C.B. Meets with the Media to Iron Advertising Wrinkle
The National Trade Union Congress of Belize convened a virtual meeting with the media this afternoon to discuss concerns and discontent over the airing of political ads taken out against the Belize National Teachers Union and the Public Service Union by the People’s United Party. The ads are a first-of-its-kind offensive being taken against the trade unions amid the ongoing standoff involving the ten percent salary cut for teachers and public officers. While the P.S.U. and B.N.T.U. have received considerable air time on all Belizean media, they say the ads being run on many stations are counter-narratives to the messages they are sending to the public.
