CTUSAB’s COMMENTS ON THE PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND BUDGETARY PROPOSAL
PRESS RELEASE - August 23, 2011
In responding to the presentation of the Financial Statement and Budgetary Proposals as laid on Parliament on Thursday, August 16, 2011, by the Hon. Christopher Sinckler, Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs, the Congress of Trade Unions and Staff Associations of Barbados (CTUSAB), is satisfied that Government heeded its call for a no taxation budget.
CTUSAB contends that had the Government chosen to do otherwise, that it would have translated into further stress on the middle income earners; the vast majority of whom would be public sector employees. It is also evident that the rippling effect of increased taxation would be felt by the most vulnerable in the society.

CTUSAB's Youth Committee (PR 24 May 2011) |
|
Coming out of the 8th Biennial Delegates’ Conference of the Congress of Trade Unions and Staff Associations of Barbados (CTUSAB), held in September 2010, the issues of recruitment and succession planning were identified as key strategies to be pursued as part of the Congress’ action plan.
CTUSAB considers these as critical to the long term development of the labour movement.
It is therefore imperative that trade unions and staff associations sustain their efforts that are directed at recruiting young persons entering the job market. From a strategic point of view, the labour movement must remain cognizant that it has a responsibility to address the training and development of its membership.
CTUSAB is adamant that the recruitment and succession planning are vital to sustaining and the repositioning of the trade union movement.
