VETERAN TRADE UNIONIST O’Brien Trotman says despite the current wave of unrest, the labour relations climate in Barbados is much more stable than when he was one of the leaders.
Trotman joined the then Barbados Civil Service Association in 1969 and served until 1976.
He maintained his relationship with the trade union movement though he later became a Parliamentary Secretary and subsequently a Minister in the Barbados Labour Party administration.

Honour, humility and joy were expressed as four distinguished Barbadians on the National Independence Honours list received their awards Tuesday from Governor General Dame Sandra Mason.
During a brief ceremony at Government House this morning, Brigadier General Sir Rudyard Eggleton Carrington Lewis was invested with the
Knight of St Andrew for extraordinary achievement and meritorious service to the military. He led the Caribbean forces involved in the US-led invasion of Grenada to restore order following the bloody October 1983 coup.
The
Companion of Honour of Barbados was awarded to O’Brien Trotman, a former Labour Party cabinet minister for his service in politics and contribution to the trade union movement.
