KRALENDIJK- Garbage processor Selibon has signed a protocol with the General Federation of Bonairean Employees (AFBW) about the start of negotiations on a new Collective Labor Agreement (CLA).

The AFBW was recently elected as the employee’s representative in a referendum, organized by the Government Mediator for the BES-islands.

Both parties emphasize that the preliminary discussions, which led to agreements contained in the protocol, took place in a friendly atmosphere. “After a time of unrest and turbulence in the company, it is now time for talks and negotiations, in the interest of the employees of the Company,” says Rudsel Leito. He is Managing Ddirector at the Government-owned Company.
