Staff responsible for distributing supplies at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital took part in unplanned industrial action this week, according to the Bermuda Hospitals Board.

A BHB spokeswoman said the Materials Handling Department participated in the “unplanned industrial action at the beginning of this week”.

She added that BHB has worked with the team and the union, and staff were back to operating as normal yesterday morning.

“There was no major impact to patients during this time, and other services around the hospital continued as usual,” she said.

The Bermuda Industrial Union was contacted for comment, but no response was forthcoming by press time.
