The Barbados Union of Teachers (BUT) has raised concerns about the impact planned increases in the pensionable age could have on its members, amid growing concerns about teacher wellness and workplace stress.
General Secretary Gilbert Carmichael said the BUT intended to engage the relevant ministries on the issue, particularly as the pensionable age is due to rise from 67 to 67 and a half in 2028, and to 68 in 2034.
Carmichael’s concerns centre on whether workers will live long enough to benefit from their pensions under the planned increases.
