The Antigua and Barbuda Workers’ Union (ABWU) condemns the reprehensible action taken by the management of Jumby Bay Resort (JBR), to terminate six employees who ended their shifts early after reporting ill.
The Union deems this action to be not only unreasonable and unfair, but shockingly cruel and wholly unacceptable.
Throughout the internal hearings and investigation, the ABWU repeatedly cautioned the company to act with reasonableness, fairness, and good judgement.
These warnings were completely disregarded by the management of JBR, who instead chose to impose the harshest and most punitive outcome possible.
This draconian approach to human resource management reveals an alarming disregard for the dignity of workers. Employees must not be treated as objects of contempt; they must, at all times, be afforded fairness, justice, and respect. As a company that celebrates excellence in service and hospitality, it is troubling that JBR failed to apply even the most basic principles of fairness and good judgement in this matter.
“This type of callous handling of workers’ lives has no place in the modern labour market,” stated ABWU General Secretary, David Massiah. “We will meet with the affected workers and, if necessary, stage a picket to publicly condemn the actions of the company.”
The ABWU stands in full and unwavering solidarity with the terminated workers and will pursue every course of action, including the industrial court, to ensure that these individuals receive the justice they deserve.
The Union urges the management of Jumby Bay Resort to immediately reconsider its position, reinstate the workers, and allow good sense and reasonableness to prevail.

Why are workers paying dues to these weak ass unions that’s getting kicked backs from most of these companies?
Exactly! Don’t let ABWU fool you. This “union” is IN BED WITH HOTELIERS!!!
You can mutter that as a union in a corner because both political party won’t say a word to offend these nice white funders who live in a state within a state, the way jumby bay and mill reef and now PLH fund these political parties , they are allowed to have a Jim crow white enclave where our police or laws of Antigua and Barbuda dare not thread, there was a white lawyer who was contracted in these enclave to settle disputes, the police or judiciary is not involved, and if we dare touch their sovereign territory as a government, they may call in the military to protect what is now American properties, and our docile prime minister is given instruction to legislate buffer zone and other concessions that diplomatically immune them from our laws and gives them the power to seek military intervention if there is a dispute over properties.
Just wait, you will see these marionette politicians put on some news excerpts of some generous donation from jumby bay or mill reef. Remember Gaston said it, he celebrated jumby bay so much that he said he will make bar ufa be jumby bay on steroids.
@Eldread aka El dumb. Take your medicine and take a nap you crying, schizophrenic man child. Why the employees at Clarevue allow you to use a computer to write on this website is beyond me.
It’s time to draw the line – draw the battle line. Our governments in the Caribbean seem to provide the expats the protection above and beyond the law.
We need to bargain with more common sense. They get duty free concessions and tax breaks. We the black picky headed qualified Antiguans get the jobs befitting of our qualifications , training, experience and capabilities. Cannot allow investors after all these insensitive to treat our people like dirt.
In fact it will serve the country well better and prevent the government from having to employ every school leaver. As the education level increases , with the UWI campus located here. The salary scale increases as well. Hence we cannot continue to give away our land, our concessions, our taxes , just to say that they are constructing a property. We must be guaranteed a higher stake for our investment. Investing here means much more to them than we imagine. The Canadians are here now, why? It is because of the uncertainty in their economy due to the relationship between them and the US. So let’s not operate like we need them more than they need us . They want our tranquility, our freedom of life, yes our sea and sun. They are accustomed to pay their taxes where they are from. Down here we give them tax exemptions and tax the poor out of existence.
I hate piece up piece up story
…the workers reportedly ended their shifts early due to illness…
dis yah sound like ABWU ah try fu start up problem again. Is this all part of the panel discussion that was held by the political arm of the UPP?
Are we going to see another boycott by the UPP on budget day?
How come now Gassy Dread Browne say he ah go sue, narry a word about the latest on the Alpha Nero that Real News Concoted and published.
Aryou MUST STOP LIE!!! If you stand on the principle of truth, reaffirm your stance by challenging on the basis of your integrity.
Jacqui Quinn nah hab nutt’n fuh say?
If you speak from a truthful position you will defend that position
Chaku ah one lawyer, he nah hab nutt’n fu say?
Gisele nah hab nutt’n fuh say? NO, instead, all of ah sudden she pon social media ah glorify she dead brother, who was a known male whore, Jigaloo, and a batty.
Not even a batty like Knight wants to speak on the Real News issue.
I challenge all of you to openly speak about the Alfa Nero, to challenge Gaston Browne, take him to task.
Harold Lovell, your letter is being written, I am certain yours will be more profound, profound to match your stupidity.
YOU THINK THE idiotic white man Luca, can help aryou
Who is next in line, for a Gassy Dread trademark lawsuit?
Six people losing their jobs just so? That’s heartbreaking, especially right before Christmas.
This is exactly why workers in this country need stronger protections. Nobody should be fired for being sick. JBR drop the ball big time.
ABWU talking strong, but will they follow through? Workers need results, not press releases.
Fuck you subservient shits. We own you. You are our slaves.
