Protest threat hangs over Grantley Adams International Airport

The Barbados National Union of Public Workers is giving the management of Grantley Adams International Airport until Thursday to respond to its pay demand, following initial protest action last month.        

Roslyn Smith the union's General Secretary, said on Tuesday, that the union was still hopeful that there could be a meeting of minds on a 3.5% salary increase.
    
The Union is insisting it has been owed the increase since 2011. The airport’s management is equally adamant, however,  that the proposed hike had been taken off the negotiating table, and remains
resolute in its stance that no pay increase will be given.      

Phase one of protests on January 29 involved about one hundred unionized airport workers, but did not have a crippling effect on the airport's operations.
