NASSAU, BAHAMAS Bahamas Hotel Catering and Allied Workers Union (BHCAWU) President Darrin Woods said yesterday that if the government seeks to introduce a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy in The Bahamas it ought to be prepared for a “faceoff” as he condemned restaurants and other private sector employers who have sought to introduce the practice.
“We stand behind the point that the government has said that vaccination is not mandatory,” Woods said.
“No employers in this country, if the government does not mandate it to make it law can turn around and make it law, and I don’t see the government standing by and allowing it to happen.”

Eyewitness News yesterday, Woods said the union was glad that many hotel workers across the country are returning to their jobs just before Christmas after the industry had been brought to an abrupt shutdown due to the pandemic.
“We are glad that the hotels are reopening and there are persons returning to work. We do, however, have some concerns over the changes that management is making in order for persons to go back to work. Definitely we have to address those,” said Woods.
