During the ABLP/AT&LU Labour Day Celebrations at the VC Bird Bust in St. John’s, Antigua, Prime Minister Gaston Browne delivered a fiery speech, leveling serious allegations against executive members of the Antigua Barbuda Workers Union (ABWU).
Browne accused these leaders of being financially influenced by hoteliers, which he claimed has led to compromises in representing the interests of hotel workers.
In his address, Browne stated, “The leadership of that Union [ABWU] has sold out to the hoteliers in this country,” implying a conflict of interest that has impacted the welfare of hotel employees.
He continued, emphasizing the dire situation faced by hotel workers: “Hoteliers cannot even earn a decent pay, they can’t even afford the car they got for the mortgage.”
The Prime Minister’s accusations didn’t stop there.
He went on to express his disappointment with the leadership’s alleged alignment with hotel interests over those of the workers they are supposed to represent. CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP
“They have no use for the people, all they do is to use workers for political gain,” Browne asserted, painting a picture of a union leadership more concerned with political maneuvering than with advocating for its members’ rights.
He called on the Antigua Trades and Labor Union (AT&LU) to take action, urging them to expand their base and prioritize the needs of hotel workers who have seen little improvement in their conditions over the years.
The implications of Browne’s accusations extend beyond mere rhetoric, signaling a potential turning point in the fight for fair labor practices in the country’s vital tourism sector.
