Outspoken Opposition Senator Caswell Franklyn has praised union-led protests against COVID-19 vaccine mandates in St Vincent, saying they should serve as a wake-up call for trade unions here.However, he made it clear he was opposed to the outbreak of violence in Kingstown that resulted in Vincentian Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves suffering a head injury when a protestor hurled an object at him as he made his way to Parliament on Thursday.Franklyn, the founder and General Secretary of the Unity Workers’ Union (UWU), condemned the assault that occurred during a demonstration led by two public sector unions and the main opposition New Democratic Party (NDP) which are all against a legislative change that would require frontline workers to take the COVID-19 vaccine to stay on the job.

The National Insurance Scheme (NIS) is being accused of not furnishing several laid-off or severed employees of statutory corporations with their unemployment benefits.
The charge has come from general secretary of Unity Workers’ Union (UWU), Senator Caswell Franklyn, who said this was only causing more hardship to Barbadians during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking during yesterday’s Down To Brass Tacks radio call-in programme on Starcom Network, he said under the National Insurance and Social Security (Amendment and Validation) Act, 2018, workers employed by any statutory board to which the Pensions Act CAP 25 applied, and any board specified in the schedule of the Statutory Board (Pension) Act CAP 384, were now entitled to receive unemployment or sickness benefits if they had been appointed.
