CTUSAB now online

The Congress of Trade Unions and Staff Associations of Barbados (CTUSAB) now has a website, www.ctusab.bb, as an outreach and educational tool.

In the official launch at Solidarity House, Harmony Hall, St Michael last Thursday, president Senator Sir Roy Trotman, said the trade union movement could not return to the "halcyon" days of soap boxes so it was imperative they took advantage of the available technology.

"We have a responsibility to inform and educate the public. Many of our members are teachers' unions so we have a further role to help the youth whose thirst for information is greater every day," he said.

Important role

Sir Roy said the union also had an important role in picking up the "slack" in Government and expressed the hope that Government would recognise this more by increasing their subvention.

Third vice-president, Mary-Anne Redman, said the idea for the website came about after an analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

The analysis showed they had to recruit younger members; preserve the essence of the industrial relations system; promote their members' education and personal development and effect better communication.

"We see our site as continuously providing opportunities for training, educating and developing our membership. Besides achieving this through our key messages and up-to-date information, we are projecting that, in the not-too-distant future, we will be in a position to offer online courses and distance courses in industrial relations as well as in other areas.

"To this end, people shall be able to access relevant pieces of legislation that directly impact workers in Barbados such as the Public Service Act; the long overdue Employment Rights Legislation and the Safety and Health at Work Act, when it is proclaimed," she said.

The website was created by web development company Future Shock. (CA)
