Sugar Ship Moved to Big Creek: Union Says Fight Not Over for Stevedores

In an update to the looming labor dispute at the Port of Belize, P.B.L. has reportedly agreed to meet with the Christian Workers Union next week. The union has served the port with a twenty-one-day notice of intended industrial action because stevedores fear they will be losing wages if the company which exports sugar at the port and hires workers to offload it, A.S.R./B.S.I., shifts its operations to the port at Big Creek. While the C.W.U. said yesterday they wanted negotiations, President Mose Hyde says the union stands ready to sit down with the port management for discussions.
