BLDC Workers Down Tools To Protest Dismissal
At around noon today [June 29], eight workers at the Bermuda Land Development Corporation downed tools to protest the dismissal of two of their colleagues.
Chief Shop Steward Tyril Simmons said they met with management to address concerns and there was no change and they plan to meet with them again.
When asked what they are seeking from management, Mr Simmons said they are looking for their two work colleagues to be reinstated.
Meetings are presently taking place to try and find a solution to the issue and we will update as able.
So, an illegal strike.
?
who cares if strike are illegal this is about people’s rights?
sit behind your keyboard an shut up or get out
That’s right. Real Bermudians shouldn’t have to take any notice of laws and agreements they enter into.
Anyone who says otherwise should “shut up and get out”, like you said.
We’re entitled.
Well I guess it was someone’s right to dismiss them too right?
Ha-haaaaaa, you couldn’t make this nonsense up!
8 people, so that’s one more than 7.
Next!…..

Hang together guys or hang separately.
Shut de whole F!@#ing island down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why?
OJ posts this all the time. He’d prefer we fail under the PLP than any outcome under the OBA.
Visions of grandeur – big fly on the dung pile.
Yeah. Down tools at BLDC. That’ll show us.
Don’t tell me we’ll have to go without whatever BLDC does. Oh no.
STFU!
thats right stop this colonisation
How progressive of you. Yes let us shut de whole f!@#ing island down that will fix everything. Oh wait we need to find out why these guys were dismissed in the first place….don’t we?
The typical response of a nufinary!
I have a feeling nobody will detect the slightest difference.
that’s OK, the BLDC doesn’t do anything anyway
Indeed that is correct. That area almost runs itself.
I think they take care of empty buildings in St. Davids but I could be wrong.
All because they took the word of one j*****s that SHOULD NOT still be working there!! He is the one that should have been fired a long time ago, as he clearly does not know how to do his job. They have gotten rid of any staff member that this ja did not like!! They need to reinstate those two.
We have a Labour tribunal that can hear their cases…We have Employment law to protect people.
How about the facts being investigated before people jumping to conclusion.
Why don’t people reserve comment until there are details of significance?
Because this is an illegal strike REGARDLESS of the reason why. Period.
why don`t these fools go to work untill we all hear why the 2 were let go??? Fool!
On a serious note, what do they do?
Look at it this way. If they’re not needed to begin with, every day they’re on strike saves us useless expenditure.
I say let them stay out.
We will see whether we can manage without them. So far, so good. Haven’t noticed a thing.
Why were the 2 workers let go? Was the dismissal warranted?
Is this the same BLDC where several years ago two Board members paid themselves handsome amounts to “write” a 16 page Report to themselves to say what their job is? Then defied the Minister of Finance to return the money?
Did that BDLC guy give back the $160,000 he paid himself to write a 16-page report to advise himself how to do his own job?
Or is this about something else?
Quote honestly, they should all be let go. Two years ago they issued an EOI for Marginal Wharf and have done nothing with the submissions except sit on their butt’s and continue to take the salaries. Send them all packing! What a serious waste of taxpayers funds!
BLDC who,fire them all they are not important
Think its time to shut down the BLDC, THEY are not worth their pay anyway bunch of selfrightous idiots!!!
Wow! you can tell all the Brains of Bermuda have commented on this page, all of whom have NO idea how the real world works, PRIVATIZE the whole Island PLEASE!
Let’s have a vote for them give them job back yes yes or no no
