The board of the Broadcasting Corporation of The Bahamas is proposing to let go 93 employees as the BCB transitions to public service broadcasting.
“We are not satisfied with the numbers. We can never be satisfied with the numbers when people have to go home prematurely,” President of the Bahamas Communications and Public Officers Union (BCPOU) Bernard Evans told The Nassau Guardian last night.
Employees of the BCB have been informed of the board’s proposal. Though Evans is displeased with the proposed cuts, he said the union is happy to have received some information about the government’s intent.
According to a source at the BCB, the cuts will affect most departments at the corporation.
