CCWU not representing workers in DDL rum delivery section

Jul 14, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

I write on behalf of myself and colleagues employed by Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) employed in the rum delivery section. The Clerical and Commercial Workers Union (CCWU) represent us and we are disappointed by our union’s lack of efforts in representing us. We heard GAWU and GLU were negotiating with the company on behalf of the employees they represent, but our union, while at the meetings, is not addressing our concern. We heard too that it was the GAWU leader that spoke on behalf of us and whatever we may receive will be due to that Union. As a member of CCWU for many years I, like my colleagues, am very disappointed that, our union is not adequately representing us. We cannot remember the last time we saw our union leaders and we see the other unions meeting with their members all the time. We feel we are ignored by CCWU and the union has become uncaring about its members.
This is not the union we joined but CCWU has gone done over the last years and its membership is suffering. We heard that CCWU President, Mr. Clarke, hired some new fancy consultant but even that is not making a difference. Worse yet someone told us that the consultant years ago was a big time manager who used to punish workers. How really CCWU expects him to represent workers matters.
Editor, we plead with you to publish this letter and hope that it can open CCWU eyes and ears, which are shut for far too long while we continue to suffer.

Yours truly,
Frustrated Worker
