ABWU and KFC Antigua Sign New Collective Bargaining Agreement Securing Increases in Wages

The Antigua and Barbuda Workers’ Union (ABWU) and KFC Antigua have successfully concluded negotiations and signed off on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA),  for the period October 1, 2025 to September 31, 2028.

Under the new agreement, employees will benefit from a weekly wage increase of $30 in the first year, followed by weekly increases of $15 in both the second and third years, respectively.

The agreement also increases the shift allowance from $35 to $40, recognising the inconveniences shift workers navigate in their daily lives. 

Senior Industrial Relations Officer, Hugh Joseph, described the negotiations as largely constructive. He commended the commitment of the workers and shop stewards throughout the negotiations.

“I want to underscore that the collective participation of workers is one of the most important elements in achieving a desirable outcome during negotiations,” Joseph said.

The ABWU remains steadfast in its mission to promote and protect the interests and well-being of its members through strategic negotiations that deliver meaningful benefits that improve the quality of life for workers and their families.
