CWU and GOB Reach Agreement: Report 

A press conference is currently underway at the Prime Minister’s office in Belize City between CWU and government representatives. The Christian Workers Union, on behalf of the stevedores, has apparently reached an amicable agreement with the Government of Belize regarding recent issues at the Port of Belize that resulted in a work-to-rule last week.

As we reported last week, employees of P.B.L. effected a work-to-rule after repeatedly demanding that the government compensate them for sugar redundancies after the shipment of bulk sugar was relocated to Big Creek a few years ago.
