Participants hosted at the Nov 2016 BWI Workshop hosted in Jamaica
On Wednesday, May 2, 2018, the Bustamante Industrial Trade Union had the privilege of briefly hosting several students from the school, who were chaperoned by their Principal Mrs. Bert and supporting staff.
During this educational experience, students posed several questions related to the Union’s structure and the general functions of trade unions in today’s world to Vice President Rudolph Thomas. Discussions advanced into more intricate spheres of industrial relations, as the students enquired into specific areas of grievance handling procedures, the operations of the Industrial Disputes Tribunal and supportive legislation.
The students were congratulated for the enthusiasm and curiosity they displayed in relation to the field of industrial relations and specifically trade unionism; they were encouraged never to lose the interest that they had displayed.
