Labour Minister to Establish Joint Industrial
Minister of Labour and Social Security, Hon. Pearnel Charles Jr., and the Members of the Labour Advisory Council (LAC) have agreed to host a special meeting to discuss a plan of action to establish a Joint Industrial Council to address labour issues affecting Industrial Security Guards and other labour relations matters.
The matter was raised by the members of the LAC during a meeting held on Wednesday June 7, to brief Minister Charles about the mandate of the Council and labour relations matters to be addressed.
The Council advised Minister Charles that the Ministry is still processing claims made by the Security Guards to the respective Trade Unions within the industry, and is still to determine the way forward.
On the other hand, the Minister indicated that the matter of the Security Guards should be treated with priority and must be urgently but carefully addressed, to restore normalcy to the industry. The Minister also gave his commitment to working jointly with the LAC to have matters of this nature resolved.
The meeting date is to be confirmed shortly.
