The Barbados Union of Teachers (BUT) is upset that its members at Wilkie Cumberbatch Primary School are being asked to report for duty in a construction zone.President Rudy Lovell deemed it an “injustice” that would not be tolerated by the union.He was speaking to this paper outside the school gates of the Pine, St Michael institution around 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday ahead of a meeting with the teachers. He was accompanied by his second vice president André Holder and executive member Tara Durant.“We are here to meet with the staff. Essentially, we are concerned that the staff has been asked to turn up to work while construction work is still ongoing. We believe that is against the natural justice of health and safety,” he said.Wilkie Cumberbatch was one of three schools which Minister of Education Kay McConney announced on Sunday would have a delayed opening due to ongoing remedial work.
