As per usual this was a total waste of air time. For some reason Chris Furbert seems to think union members are in a class of their own. He likes to posture.

Having wasted around 20 minutes of my life watching this, it is clear Chris Furbert has no idea of what is happening in Bermuda to so many non BIU/Government people at this time. His explanation of why garbage collection was stopped beggars belief. There was no mandatory quarantine for the employee who went to work. The stoppage was unlawful and the workforce should not have been paid. Is that the case? Are all Government employees receiving full pay even if they can’t work from home? If they weren’t it would have been made public, so the pain is not being shared, at least until Government revenue is not sufficient to meet payroll which is likely very soon.

Honestly? What value does Chris Furbert bring to the table here? FFS.

Mr. Furbert speaks at one point about how the minister should be paying out to large blocks of people only. The problem is Mr. Furbert that the Government represents the entire population not just union members.
The fact of the matter is all of Bermuda is going to feel this financial pain wether you work for a large or small self employed company.

So is the BIU paying any benefits to its members at all?

He really didn’t say much did he? Complete waste of time in my opinion.
