 |  | | Transport workers show solidarity with computer firm workers in Barbados | |
Some 30 transport workers joined scores of protestors during stepped up industrial action against a computer firm in Barbados on 28 September.
The demonstrators from Guyana, Antigua, St Lucia, Grenada, Jamaica, Dominica, Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados were attending an ITF “Training the trainers” seminar at the Barbados Workers' Union (BWU) Labour College in St Philip.
They joined the second day of protest organised by the BWU against Online Consultancies at lunchtime. The protestors were demonstrating over the company’s refusal to recognise the union and the sacking in July of six office workers who joined the union.
The ITF’s Caribbean Sub-Regional Coordinator Carvil Duncan said, "We took part in this protest because this is the essence of unity and trade union solidarity. We came to Barbados for educational activity and this education is not only about training ourselves but mainly turning knowledge into action. This is what we are doing now."
