The state-run Barbados Agricultural Management Company is being accused of arbitrary dismissal of workers and President of the Congress of Trade Unions and Staff Associations, Edwin O’Neal, warns there could be an industrial battle.

He raised the issue in a call to VOB’s Down to Brasstacks program where he noted that grievances have already been successfully filed with the Industrial Disputes Tribunal.

But Mr. O’Neal accuses the organisation of continued indifference to what he considers as proper industrial relations practice and serves notice that there could be consequences.
