Our Lucaya Resort General Manager Michael Weber said he was unaware of a rumour that the property was preparing to terminate some 50 managerial and supervisory employees, as was claimed by the Bahamas Hotel Managerial Association (BHMA).
On Tuesday, BHMA president Obie Ferguson told The Freeport News that industrial action could be in the works at that resort.
Ferguson said the BHMA learned last week that there was a “covert plan” being hatched to let go the workers, who all belong to the union. According to Ferguson, management intended to begin the termination exercise this week.
“We are advised that they planned these dismissals after they found out that the workers are supporting the union,” Ferguson said.
Yesterday, Weber addressed the claims.
“With regard to employees being laid off in the next month, I am unaware of this rumour and it’s the first I have heard of it,” he said.
