BSTU/Alexandra School Dispute (PR 13 Jan. 2012) |
|
PRESS RELEASE
Monday, 13 January 2012
The escalation of the impasse between the Barbados Secondary Teachers’ Union and the Principal of the Alexandra School is to be deeply regretted.
The Congress of Trade Unions and Staff Associations of Barbados (CTUSAB), reinforces the point that the Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development and the Chief Personnel Officer must take lead responsibility to bring about a resolution to the dispute.
The Congress implores the parties to the dispute to seek to resolve the matter through the process of dialogue; invoking the dispute resolution mechanism and not through the medium of public comment.
The Congress is aware of continued efforts to bring about a resolution to the matter, and believes that nothing more should be done by any party to inflame passions.

BSTU/Alexandra School Impasse (PR 9 Jan. 2012) |
|
PRESS STATEMENT
Monday, 9 January 2012
The Congress of Trade Unions and Staff Associations of Barbados is of the view that the protracted impasse between the Barbados Secondary Teachers Union and the Principal of the Alexandra School, has reached crisis proportions and needs to be quickly resolved.
CTUSAB opines that the protracted nature of the impasse has only served to antagonize and estrange the relationship between the parties to the dispute.
In an effort to safe guard the stable industrial climate which has prevailed within recent times, it warrants that the parties to the dispute seek to engage the collective bargaining and dispute resolution process as a means of arriving at a resolution.
CTUSAB accepts that the Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development and the Chief Personnel Officer as agent of the employer superior to the Principal of the Alexandra School, should move with alacrity to bring the parties together.
Given that the BSTU has served notice of its intention to heighten industrial action, CTUSAB calls on the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development to immediately convene a meeting of the parties.
CTUSAB appeals for proper channels of communication to be established between the Ministry and the parties to the dispute, in an effort to bring about a better understanding and cooperation in resolving the issue. |
