The Sea­men and Wa­ter­front Work­ers’ Trade Union (SWW­TU) is ac­cus­ing Na­tion­al Flour Mills (NFM) of stalling ne­go­ti­a­tions on two col­lec­tive agree­ments, near­ly two years af­ter pro­pos­als were sub­mit­ted.

NFM SWW­TU branch chair­man Nazreen Haynes-Davis, who led a protest out­side the com­pa­ny in Port-of-Spain yes­ter­day, said the union has faced re­peat­ed post­pone­ments and lim­it­ed progress de­spite sub­mit­ting pro­pos­als in May 2024.

“We have been in ne­go­ti­a­tion mode for al­most two years now, and every time we meet with the com­pa­ny, there’s al­ways a de­lay,” Haynes-Davis said.
