The National Union of Public Workers held an emergency meeting this week with the ministry of the public service over the spike in covid-19 cases.

NUPW General Secretary Wayne Waldrond says the union has proposed a national work from home policy for both the public and private sectors.

However, President of the Barbados Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Anthony Branker, says while the business sector is allowing staff to work from home where possible and necessary, that won’t work for all companies.
