Darrin Woods, President of the Bahamas Hotel Catering and Allied Workers Union
NASSAU, Bahamas — Bahamas Hotel Catering and Allied Workers Union (BHCAWU) President Darrin Woods said yesterday union members have voted in favor of taking industrial action against Atlantis Resort, the Nassau Guardian reported November 20.
Woods said a vote to commence industrial action was taken on September 27 and a trade dispute was filed with the Department of Labour on October 25.
He said the decision to take industrial action was the result of the implementation of a 12-point-system and a shift change for housekeepers without input from the union.
“Since we had a special call general meeting, the members unanimously voted to take industrial action against the Atlantis resort so we’re here now to put our membership at large, those covered by the [Bahamas Hotels Employers Association], on what we call ‘alert’,” Woods said. https://thenassauguardian.com/2018/11/20/strike-threat-at-atlantis/
