Concerns about the welfare of migrant workers on construction sites prompted visits to two locations by Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley and other Government officials Wednesday.

This is according to a statement from the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and the Third Sector, which did not name the construction company involved.

It noted, however, that concerns relating to the welfare and accommodation of the migrant workers were brought to the attention of Government and social partners by General Secretary of the Barbados Workers’ Union, Toni Moore, during a tripartite construction sector meeting chaired earlier today by the Prime Minister.
