First and foremost, a ban from calling meetings during standard business hours, second, operations should cease unless up to date financial reporting is maintained so that all members can know where dues collected are going. This last measure should be balanced with ensuring that collective bargaining agreements remain in effect, just suspend the ability to conduct financial collecting and transactions. The greatest threat to to Bermudian employment and economy is Chris Furbert and any that continue to support his position, take a stand Andy free Bermuda from thug masters.

Because all I hear from him is the employers are trying to destroy the workers rights. I think all BIU members should get that real facts from both sides before rushing to go on strike etc…read the dam KFC press release yourselves and then decide.

The BIU has become over-obsessed and fundamentally out-of-touch. I would rather have a smart workforce working in conjunction with management than the BIU striking left right and center and wasting our time (and money). And yes, the “leader” is Mr. Furbert, so naturally he is the one in the firing line and yes, he is not very well liked. So what. And no, I’m not white.
