Since the union bosses and their minions have thrown the term out there of 'militant' actions, the RBPF and the RBDF should be called in using force to get these militants subdued. Bunch of brainless thugs.

"UPDATE: Police have reportedly been called to BEC's head office as workers demonstrating outside banged on customers' cars as they attmepted to enter the compound."

Animals......If they hit my car I would run them over

LOL!!!

LOL This is Bahamian biggity at its best I must say. BEC workers are OUT OF CONTROL!! Arrest these animals as Islander242 calls them and I have to agree if you threaten me by hitting at my car who's to say you wouldn't break the car window and injure me, run dem over!

I also agree with B_I_D show them militancy, bring in the RBDF!

Fire all of there behind what they think this is talking fool about they don't want to work shifts

FULL SUPPORT FOR LESLIE MILLER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These union guys have been taken all of us for granted get rid of them and hire some new people that want to work.

I have been listening to news concerning BEC for a few months and am very disturb of the comments being made about the corporation.
1. The government had BEC reduce its rates to the public - no business can stay profitble when expenses increase and the cost is not shared with the public.
2. I agree that the overtime at BEC is extremely high - This has been the case for decades
3. As a quasi corporation its by time a government had the strength to reduce expenses, however in my opinion the Board of the Directors are trying to resolve BEC issues with an autocratic style of management. This style is outdated and not use by any corporation including the Military.

The Board along with the Senior Management team should have agreed on an action plan, set timelines for the completion of each stage of the action plan. Employees and the Unions should be advice of the various steps. Of course employees and the union would not know the intricate details. Not all employees including management and line staff may accept the change positively, and in cases would decide to resist or leave the corporation.

Decision must be made for any entity to survive but we as a leader we do not ridcule the employees in order to get the public support.

The basic rule of life - love your neighbor as yourself

While your points are well taken. The Board of Directors have involved the union all along the way. The union has been intolerate and uncompromising. I and many people think it is unheard of for a person to not have to pay health insurance or pension, you and I (the Bahamian population) are paying that for them (as the "strength of the government" you refer to) on top of us the consumers having to deal with exorbitant energy prices that cushion their twice and thrice salaries.

Deadlines have been made, but the union and majority of the workers have been uncooperative and their disruptive behavior has Mr. Miller pandering to them in his attempts to be understanding and to keep the peace. This pandering is happening because of what you simply put "love thy neighbor as thy self".

If this were a private company, these shenanigans wouldn't even exist. A deadline for the new changes would be made and they would be implemented by the said date.

My FULL support for LESLIE MILLER, and why didn't the Police immediately arrest those workers who were banging on customers' cars as they attempted to enter the compound? because they think they are beyond the law!
