Call For Supermarket Boycott

Super Value employees are threatening to demonstrate and are calling on Bahamians to boycott the popular food store chain, claiming that the company “mistreated and wrongfully fired” members of its staff.

In a press release issued yesterday, the Bahamas Commercial Stores Supermarket and Warehouse Workers union (BCSSWWU) claimed that the company is refusing to negotiate an industrial agreement for the workers and “mistreating the employees and terminating them when they try to seek their rights.”

The union announced that as a consequence they intend to demonstrate and asked the public to “boycott all Super Value foods until these matters are resolved and Rupert Roberts (president of Super Value) sits and negotiates an industrial agreement for the workers.

The union members also published a poster that urges the public to shop at the competiton food store, City Market, “because they did the right thing for those workers and it is a foreign company.”
