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 it’s time workers receive better representation.
The Prime Minister criticizes the Antigua & Barbuda Workers Union (ABWU) for allegedly collecting over $2M annually from hotel workers but not meeting their needs.
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.

This move could lead to improved working conditions, fair wages, and greater job satisfaction for those in the sector.
I hope this doesn’t become just another bureaucratic process that fails to address workers’ real concerns. Concrete actions and accountability will be crucial to making a meaningful difference for hotel workers.
WONDERFUL NEWS 👏
GERIATRIC DAVID MASSIAH NEEDS TO EXIT THE SENATE and make way for the 25% YOUTH promised by the UPP!!!
That INCOMPETENT, WICKED, HEARTLESS, GREEDY, CORRUPT ABWU is useless!!!
They’re IN BED WITH HOTELIERS!!! No care or genuine concern for employees.
TEACHERS have their own union
HOSPITALITY WORKERS can form their own too
Lets not make this political now please
Gaston is doing everything he can to kill the ABWU wicked fellow
ATLU is almost extinct and his aim from the very onset is to kill the ABWU. This guy is an affront to anyone who’s not a member of his gang. There are scores of persons with mental health who are very rational.
You know how to DEFLECT like upp, but your attempt at not facing reality flopped!!
Antigua and Barbuda Hospitality Employees Union
The PM is right. Let the hotel workers have their own union. Millions union making off workers and not representing them at all. These union are greedy and wicked. Heartless set of people.
Hotel workers kick you hem out, it’s time for them to go.
any union that is not started by the workers themselves, on their own initiative, is a fake union. Why would someone like Gaston brown, or the upp for that matter, who has done everything he could to resist an increase in the minimum wage over many years, want to start an effective union to fight for better wages. makes zero sense. Obviously just another cynical ploy to gain himself more power.
