Photos & Video: BIU Holds Labour Day Banquet
[Updated] The Bermuda Industrial Union [BIU] hosted their 37th annual Labour Day Banquet last night [Aug 31] at the Fairmont Southampton, with Delroy Duncan serving as the guest speaker, with the lawyer speaking on past legal cases the Union has been involved in, as well as the future of employment and the changes technology is causing.

Whatever!!! All will understand one day the unions leaders are for themselves keep on paying those dues.
Ill keep paying as long as I recieve ALL the benefits my forefathers fought for so we ALL have a better standard of living.
I cannot support the BIU any longer at least not until they produce the financials for the last 20 years.
Oh, no, Wahoo, you can’t support the BIU until they produce the financial. What on earth are they going to do without your support………….
Continue to pull the wool over your eyes I guess.
If you are a BIU financial member then are entitled to it if not ………….
Please keep paying your biu dues so we can do it again next year!
The union needs to encourage the working people by not going Southampton Princess for a banquet. There are plenty of auditoriums and school halls that can be used, and we need to practice economy in the light of an ailing economy. Maybe the union leadership has forgotten the struggle, same way the politicians, when you are spending other people’s,s money the blood. sweat, and tests has a very very mild impact.
Financial transparency over emotional participation please
I don’t think an answer will be given a out changing the venue for these banquets and reducing costs so more people can attend. Right now the cost is 125 dollars per person, at Devonshire Recreation it could be under 50,. maybe 25.It can be done.The ordinary working person needs to be highly valued, not just for the evening, but for opportunities to work in their own country.
Grand affairs, raising cost of living every way they can and jet setting around the world first class and with chauffeurs whilst throwing our Bermudian families out into the street…. yet “we are for Bermudians and making life easier for Bermudians”???
