PM BROWNE PUSHES FOR NEW HOSPITALITY WORKERS’ UNION
SOURCE: ABS
Prime Minister Hon. Gaston Browne is paving the way for the creation of a dedicated union for hospitality workers.
He met with union officials today to discuss forming an advisory board for the initiative, saying its time workers receive better representation.
The Prime Minister has even floated the idea of the government providing a soft loan to help the workers cover start-up costs, provided the union remains independent of political influence.
