No decision: BIU President Chris Furbert (File photograph)
The Bermuda Industrial Union has yet to decide if it will take further industrial action over a long-running dispute with Government.
Unionised staff began working to rule last Friday in protest at new decertification laws that give non-unionised staff a vote.
The work to rule ended at midnight on Thursday and the union was expected to make an announcement on any future action yesterday.
But BIU president Chris Furbert said that a decision had yet to be made.
He said: “The work to rule was only in place for one full week – that was the decision of the general council.
“The divisions are now meeting individually and then we will decide on any further steps.”
