NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Weeks after The Bahamas Educators Councilors and Allied Workers Union signed its first industrial agreement after separating from the BUT, a former BUT president is throwing his support behind the group.
Our News sat down with Kingsley Black recently, who says while he believes in having one educators union, he now understands it may no longer be practical.
Just a few weeks ago, BECAWU’s president telling the media the split was simply because of how the BUT was being run.
The former union head also recalling a time when UTEB and the Educators Managerial Union split from the BUT while he was president.
We questioned black about this recent split from the BUT and what its mean for its future.
The existence of both BUT and BECAWU now means two industrial agreements for teachers across the country, and in some instances, on the same school campus.
Former Labour Director John Pinder explaining that they are well within their right to do so, adding that it’s important that employers are fully aware.
BUT President Belinda Wilson recently telling teachers to prepare for industrial action if their demands aren’t met ahead of the new school year.
Black staunchly opposing the way disputes are often times handled.
