The JADA Group has been issued two barrack licences and has begun relocating migrant workers back to their renovated housing facilities in Black Bess, St Peter.

This comes one week after more than 80 workers were ordered to vacate the premises due to untidy living conditions.

The housing situation came to the attention of Government officials 12 days ago during a construction industry meeting attended by the Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU). Following the meeting, Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley, Minister of Labour Colin Jordan, BWU representatives and health officials inspected the container-type housing.
