On Thursday, the University of Belize Faculty and Staff Union held a demonstration to help amplify their voice for the senior administration of UB to engage them in cost-cutting measures as a result of a projected loss of seven million dollars in cash flow. The union, which has yet to be officially certified by the Ministry of Labour, says they have been shut out from the decision making process and it stands to impact its membership. President of UB Clement Sankat will be hosting a virtual meeting on Monday to share recommendations for the university’s way forward amidst the financial crisis. When we spoke with President Pio Saqui of the U.B.F.S.U., he shared that he would need to consult with his members to determine if they will be participating in the virtual meeting.
