Forty-four workers at Berger Paints Barbados are set to lose their jobs on Friday as the company shuts down its manufacturing plant and operations in Barbados.
The closure will affect the company's factory, warehouse, colour shops and administrative offices, bringing an end to decades of local production, even as its products remain available on store shelves.
The company says the move is part of a shift to a new distribution model.
Toni Moore, Member of Parliament and General Secretary of the Barbados Workers' Union, says the decision will have a serious impact on employees.
Ms. Moore also highlighted the uncertainty now facing the workers, particularly those who are still of working age but may find it challenging to secure new employment opportunities.
