The Union insisted non members pay dues for bargaining awards. Now said non members are entitled to a vote.It’s like a family paying a collective mortgage, just because one doesn’t reside in the home while the other do, doesn’t mean they are not entitled to have an opinion on the color the house will be painted. I pay,I have a say, point blank!

How many of those folks protesting against the Union are Union members? Perhaps they are getting fed up with the lack of union benefits they should be receiving. Maybe they are now ‘seeing the light’ …… do tell ….

“This govt won’t stand strong, scared he’ll lose votes.”

To who? The OBA? The Monster Raving Loony Party? A bunch of independents?

I agree! Were already partially crippled so is a good time to stand our ground and turn the tables on the union to make them the ones who suffer . Let them strike so the union can support them …. we’ll see how long they last !

Totally agree! All that we have been through these past 18 months! Shutting down the island should NOT be an option!

I for one am tired of it.Any good lawyers willing to take this? I would start with the 6$ figure leader et al

Show me one unionized public service that is more productive and efficient than a non unionized private service. Education bwahaha? Works and Engineering bwahaha? Postal ‘Service’ bwahaha? I’ll wait. Time for government to call the pokerman’s bluff.

A house divided can’t stand. PLP is either pro union, labor and people or not. Can you hear me now? We need people like Chris. Thanks Chris and the union.

I have a question who runs the country, my country… the Bermuda Government or Chris Furbert and the BIU. Stand strong Bermuda Government and do not let these individuals run this country.

This union is run by idiots.
They are determined to cripple this island.
Bermuda is trying so hard to get back on its feet. Then the BIU want to call a general strike.
GET RID OF THE BIU/
PREMIER BURT PLEASE CALL THEIR BLUFF AND SEND THESE IDIOTS PACKING.

Funny how when the union takes action against the previous government it is some how just? but now when they want to take action against the current government they are wrong? Please!! This government needs to stop playing politics only when it suits them! Stop the double standards. This government is so arrogant they think that everything they do is right.

Just because the Union request that its members support a particular party des not mean they will get everything they want. Sorry. Let them call the General Strike. Folks do not get paid in this climate if they strike. They used to but no way the Government can continue this nonsense. Call the strike. When it fails the President of the Union will need to do what’s right: RESIGN. We have had enough of such tactics. If he does not support the PLp in the next election…if he is still there….so be it. Enough is enough.

Call their bluff it isn’t like things could get worse. Trash does not get collected, busses do not run, roads do not get paved etc etc. Please do not pay them for illegal strikes because we are broke and they need to be made to understand what that means.

How about a general strike against the governments tyrannical behavior against the people of Bermuda with its quarantine mandates and coercing people/ That is a heck of a lot more important than some union certification. That is way more urgent. BIU & people of Bermuda this is not a joke please get your priorities in order. You have been warned!
