New Year Message 2026: From BWU

Comrades and friends,

As the Barbados Workers’ Union marches toward 85, we do so grounded in the wisdom of our past and strengthened by the confidence earned through struggle. Much around us has changed — the nature of work, the expectations of workers, the demand for new skills. Yet so much remains the same – our demand for: fairness, unity, dignity, respect. That is why, after 85 years, we are still here. Still fighting. Still standing.

This march to 85 is not a countdown. It is a declaration of purpose.
