BEC has released the following statement following threats of outages by workers:

“The Bahamas Electricity Corporation (BEC) takes this opportunity to formally respond to the media with respect to allegations levied against the Corporation by the Bahamas Electrical Utility Workers Managerial Union (BEUMU).

“Firstly, the Corporation wishes to advise the media and the public at large that it does not comment on human resource matters in the public. As with any employee related matter, BEC encourages the BEUMU to employ all legitimate and legal recourse afforded to them through the industrial agreement and the laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas.

“Although there are instances when the Corporation and the union may disagree on certain matters, at all times BEC encourages the union to ensure that any action they may be considering is not to the detriment of BEC’s customers and by extension the entire country.

“Finally, the BEC reiterates its commitment to working with the BEUMU, or any union, in the best interest of its employees, its customers, and the Corporation.”
