\"\"BEC Chairman Leslie Miller warned union members there would be grave repercussions if workers acted on threats to disrupt operations at the corporation.<\/p>\n

Both unions representing line staff and middle managers have filed trade disputes with the Department of Labour over benefit reductions.<\/p>\n

Mr Miller\u2019s warning follows threats by Bahamas Electrical Utility Managerial Union president Clinton Minnis, who said power generation could be cut if demands over sick pay are not met.<\/p>\n

Mr Miller said: \u201cThey have to realise that there are consequences. I will not allow them to threaten the livelihood of our people, who are the owners of BEC. I speak for the people, and [Minnis] is totally out of line for those threats.<\/p>\n

\u201cBEC belongs to the people of the Bahamas, whatever the BEC unions will do I have no control over that, but there will be grave repercussions.\u201d<\/p>\n
