The Management of St. James’s Club Morgan Bay and the National Workers Union (NWU) have agreed to refer their negotiating dispute to the Labour Commissioner.

The NWU has requested a three dollar ($3.00) per hour increase in Years One, Two and Three while the Company has counter-offered one dollar ($1.00) per hour to cover the three year duration.

The NWU is of the firm opinion that its aim is to standardize fringe benefits in the unionized hotel plants and establish a wage structure that would mirror the contribution that hotel workers are making towards the overall development of the Tourism Sector.

It is expected that a meeting at conciliatory level will be scheduled soon as both parties are eager to resolve this matter.
