BNTU Braces PM
posted (September 15, 2016)
As we showed you last night, the Prime Minister has written back to the BNTU to respond to their demands about good governance. He has carefully explained what the Government's plan of action is to address all 8 of their demands, and he even gave his reasons for refusing to remove Godwin Hulse as the Police Minister.

So, what do the unions think about that response? That's what we tried to find out today, but the National President said that it will be addressed in a meeting by the members of the Union.

Luke Palacio, National President, B.N.T.U.
"First of all there were no deadlines and no conditions set as it relates to the plan of action the BNTU has. A letter was sent to the PM asking and making certain demands and we gave him up until Friday to respond, and he has done so; he responded yesterday, that has been reported to our membership, that has been reported vastly in the media."

Daniel Ortiz, 7News
"Are you all satisfied with the points he has made in his response?"

Luke Palacio, National President, B.N.T.U.
"Like I said yesterday we have received his response. We are going to have a special council of management meeting to consider those responses and then determine what day we go and meet with the Prime Minister giving our position, our concerns, our issues with his response."
