On Thursday, the Belize National Teachers Union expressed its support for the Christian Workers Union which is currently at a standoff with the Port of Belize Limited over working hours of stevedores. The C.W.U. has initiated its twenty-one-day notice, prompting Minister of State responsible for Labor, Senator Carla Barnett to act as a mediator.  It is the hope of the government that both parties would find common ground to prevent strike action especially since the Port of Belize provides an essential service. B.N.T.U. National President, Senator Elena Smith also hopes that through discussion, the differences can be resolved.
