36 Fired Port Workers Take to The Picket Line
posted (August 14, 2020)
Tonight, 36 former members of PBL's staff are still out of a job. You'll remember that they were fired by text message 23 days ago - the same day that culminated in the GSU declaring a riot at the Port of Belize.

Now, they're firing back, and speaking out against union busting and the actions of the port that they say have taken food out of their children's mouths. I spoke to them at their midday protest.

Negotiations between the staff and PBL are currently at a standstill.
