The Antigua Trades and Labour Union (AT&LU) is putting employers on notice
that it intends to seek the inclusion of a ‘child-care allowance’ in future collective
bargaining agreements that it negotiates.
That’s the word coming from the AT&LU’s two most senior officers, President
Bernard DeNully and General Secretary, Alrick Daniel.
Both men were speaking at the joint ABLU&AT&LU Labour Day rally at the Bust
of VC Bird in St. John’s on Monday.
The two union leaders contend in their separate presentations that it is unfair for
workers to work overtime, and that the extra money they are paid goes back to
paying a baby-sitter for her services while the employee is at work.
They hold the view that this ought to change so that the baby-sitting amount is
even covered partially by the employer.
At the same time, the AT&LU president and general secretary have called on
workers to be productive on their various work sites. To respect their employers
and to engage in training that is organized at their work places.
