A delegation led by Leader of the Opposition and Political Leader of the New National Party Dr. The Rt. Hon. Keith Mitchell met yesterday with a delegation from the Grenada Breweries Limited.
The meeting came days after the Opposition met with a delegation from the Technical & Allied Workers Union (TAWU) and gave a commitment that every attempt will be made to engage the Management of the Grenada Breweries Ltd. to discuss the current impasse between the two parties.
The Breweries delegation led by Mr. Andrew Sabga outlined their position and the circumstances leading to the current dispute with TAWU. He stated their position and willingness to bring an end to the current impasse.
He reiterated that the workers still remain employees of the Breweries and that no worker was fired by the company. The team further committed to continued negotiations with TAWU.
The Opposition believes that all parties concerned should do everything possible to end this current impasse in the interest of the over 100 workers employed at the Breweries.
Furthermore, the prolong industrial dispute is having a negative effects on the national economy and can negatively affect investor’s confidence which has been significantly reduced over the past three years.
The Opposition will continue to monitor the situation and hopes that good sense will prevail and that an amicable resolution will be reached in the soonest possible time.
