The quiet calm that has descended upon the workers at the Bahamas Telecommunications Company may soon be broken as the Bahamas Communications and Public Officers Union (BCPOU) may instruct its membership not to cooperate with Cable and Wireless Communications (CWC) representatives already stationed at the telecommunications company.
BCPOU President Bernard Evans said yesterday that if the government fails to tell them (CWC representatives) to act accordingly until the deal is sealed, BTC employees would be ordered to pull their “cooperation.”
Evans claimed that approximately a dozen CWC representatives have been in and out of BTC since last August, giving instructions regarding various projects.
He said the union would not sit idly by and allow CWC representatives to act as if they already own the company.
“Everybody has noticed the boldness, the arrogance of Cable and Wireless seemingly strutting their stuff around as if this deal has already been done. If the government don’t come forward and pull them aside and ask them to act accordingly until this deal is done, we are going to ask our members not to participate or cooperate with anybody from Cable and Wireless,” Evans said during a press conference held at the BCPOU headquarters yesterday.
