Bahamian Unions, the Bahamas TU Federation and the Bahamian public are protesting the sale of 51% of Bahamas Telecom Company BTC, a traditionally profitable and well run national company, to Cable and Wireless, a well-known Telecoms multinational operating in the Caribbean for nearly a century. The arrangement proposes that 30 % of the jobs at the Company will be lost.



UNI Telecom affiliate, BCPOU Bahamas represents BTC workers and is now embroiled in a costly, legal battle initiated by the Company against the Union.



We await the legal outcome of this unfolding drama and urge Caribbean Unions to carefully observe the situation
