BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – The Barbados Workers Union (BWU) is threatening a nationwide strike if the telecommunications company, Cable and Wireless (Barbados) Limited, does not retract dismissal letters sent to nearly 100 workers last week.
The BWU has also given the telecommunication company until Wednesday to rescind the letters.
Last week, Cable and Wireless (Barbados) Limited, which operates here under the brand, LIME, blaming substantial losses, said that it would be outsourcing its retail operations in a bid to improve its financial position.
