#BTEditorial – A labour landscape of unrest Article by December 12, 2020 General Secretary of the Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU) and newly-minted Member of Parliament for St George North Toni Moore, must be pleased with the outcome of the more than decade-old dispute with global security firm G4S. Securing a quick settlement to the dispute that threatened to explode into an all-out national industrial relations debacle was more than necessary. It was really a no-win situation for any of the parties involved had the fracture devolved into a national confrontation. Prime Minister Mia Mottley was less than subtle, laying all the options she might pursue to bring the security firm to human understanding. G4S, a global brand would have done untold damage to its reputation if it was viewed as an exploitative employer that was prepared to subvert our country’s labour laws.
