Workers at the state-owned Bahamas Power and Light Company have voted overwhelmingly to take industrial action in support of their union's demand for better working conditions and honouring the terms and conditions in a recently signed collective agreement.
The agreement includes provisions for salary increases in 2022, 2023, and 2024, with increases in 2025 and 2026 to be considered on appraisals.
The workers, who are represented by the Bahamas Electrical Workers Union, also voted in support of a fixed monthly hazardous pay and a lack of increments, which they say go against what is in the industrial agreement signed on September 8, 2021.
Union president Kyle Wilson praised the workers, saying that 99 per cent of them had voted to take strike action.
