The Barbados Water Authority (BWA) will be looking to part ways with 75 of its workers before the end of this week. In a press briefing earlier yesterday, Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU) general secretary Toni Moore revealed that the state-owned enterprise was looking to reduce its staff complement by 10 per cent in the first phase of its Barbados Economic Recovery and Transformation (BERT) programme retrenchments.
