The UNI Finance trade union RBC Royal Bank alliance, established last month in Trinidad and Tobago, has been hitting the headlines.

The alliance seeks to ensure that trade union rights at RBC across the Caribbean region are respected and that their rights to freedom of association, union recognition and safe workplaces are defended.

“It’s important that we unite as trade unions across the region to force RBC Bank to recognize and respect the rights of their workers”, said BIGWU General Secretary Trevor Johnson. “This alliance will help us to oppose the anti-union practices of this regional multinational bank.”

“Bank Workers all over the region will be able to raise their standard of living and working conditions. We call upon the Royal Bank of Canada to engage in a meaningful and open dialogues with our alliance to rectify these problems.”

“We are united across the Caribbean – we will make certain that the rights of workers are respected and protected.”

The alliance comprises trade unions representing workers in Trinidad and Tobago, St. Lucia, Barbados, Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda, Jamaica and the Bahamas.

UNI Finance represents 3 million finance workers around the world.
