Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne has fired government Senator Wigley George after he voted a second time against a bill that he says will open workers to victimisation. George, who is also the President of the government-aligned Antigua Trades and Labour Union (ATLU), has since received the support of his union and the Antigua Barbuda Workers Union (ABWU). “The Antigua Barbuda Workers Union stands side by side with Wigley George on this issue without reservation. We find it a victimising act – an act we will not tolerate. It could well begin a spate of actions which the prime minister would regret in this country,” said ABWU Deputy General Secretary, Chester Hughes. According to the Jamaica Observer, ATLU General Secretary Hugh Joseph said workers are calling for mass action – and they are likely to act. Prime Minister Browne had warned dissenting government legislators last month that they would be dismissed if they did not support the Statutory Corporations General Provisions Bill, which they had opposed previously. |
