Badal says he is not anti-union

Robert Badal

Although he ended union representation at his Pegasus Hotel back in 2010 following a bitter fallout with the Clerical and Commercial Workers Union (CCWU), Change Guyana presidential candidate and hotelier, Robert Badal says that he wants to make clear that he is not anti-union.

To this end, Badal announced that his party will next week be meeting with all of the country’s unions to have discussions, as he stressed that he supports the workers’ right and choice for unions and collective bargaining.

“We are about to invite the unions to have discussions with Change Guyana. So soon we will be discussing with [them] and allaying those fears [which they have of me],” he told Stabroek News following a press conference held on Tuesday.
