Hotel union president slams labour officials and hotel executives over stalled negotiations

NASSAU, BAHAMAS- Bahamas Hotel Catering and Allied Workers Union president Darren Woods lambasted hotel executives and Labour officials over stalled negotiations Thursday morning as he led dozens of his union members in protest at the foot of the Sir Sidney Poitier bridge.
