Today in Belmopan, the Public Service Union pulled out the placards to picket the Belmopan City Council. The issue is its hilltop headquarters - you'll remember that it emerged in November of last year - that the council had sold the land to a private company, Simplex, for $600,00 thousand dollars. The Prime Minister intervened to get the land back for the PSU - so we thought that was the end of it.
But the PSU says that Mayor Khalid Belisle has been giving them the run around. And so, after they claim he failed to get back to them a month ago - the PSU staged its industrial action today. 7News was there in Belmopan:
The mayor told us via text, quote, "The Belmopan City Council declines comment on the matter at this time."
As you heard, the PSU says this is the first of other industrial actions it plans to take.
