Bosai workers protest sloth in wage negotiations

The protestors at Linden on Thursday

A protest on Thursday by dozens of Bosai Minerals Group workers in Linden has hastened negotiations between the company and their union on wages and benefits.

According to head of the National Association of Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Employees (NAACIE) Kenneth Joseph, the workers were moved to protest because they were not happy with how fast the negotiations were moving.

“We have been speaking with the company and we have had quite a few meetings on negotiations and we haven’t asked for too many changes,” Joseph said, while pointing out that the unions are only requesting that the workers’ salaries be increased and that there be additional benefits.
