Interruption In Public Services On Tuesday
There “will be an interruption in public services” tomorrow [Jan 31] due to a BIU full membership meeting, the Government has advised, with services to be impacted including buses, ferry service, trash collection, parks, postal delivery and other services.
A Government spokesperson said, “The public is advised that due to a Bermuda Industrial Union [BIU] full membership meeting taking place tomorrow, January 31, from 10.30a.m. – 12.30p.m., there will be an interruption in public services.
“Specifically, there will be no bus or ferry services during this period. Other delayed services include trash collection, parks, postal delivery and other services. All disrupted services will resume following the conclusion of the BIU meeting.”
Some day some Government of Bermuda might want to designate public transportation as an essential service.
Thankfully, on this occasion, the BIU have scheduled this mass disruption for after the morning school run.
Well that’s a slap in the face to the Minister of Tourism who wants all of Bermuda to get behind Tourism. Why doesn’t he or the Premier stop this stupidity by the BIU? Unfortunately it will never happen as the BIU is all powerful.
Same old crap. The BIU shutting down the island. Get rid of the BIU.
“Get rid of the BIU.”
Do you really think that our Minister of Economy and Labour, Jason Hayward, would put up with such a thing?
Will anyone notice. The problem with public services in Bermuda is that there is zero service. It’s the result of a tone of no accountability set by the PLP in 1998.
Government again becomes deaf and blind..BAD partners
The union president is perhaps upset because he did not get his wish for a May Coronation holiday.Real leadership is shown when you say we will have a mass meeting after 6pm because we want to be seen to be part of the solution to a massive problem facing the world. This is our new tactic going forward. Ah, no way that dinosaur going to do that….no way. So we get the same old same old because they get rewarded no matter what.
