Further transport delays are expected today as the Bermuda Industrial Union again calls a mass membership meeting with the issues remaining a mystery.

And one union insider said buses could be out tomorrow as the work-to-rule continues.

Bus and ferry transport was disrupted for hours on Tuesday as hundreds of workers gathered at union headquarters with gripes said to include lingering unhappiness with safety at the bus terminal.

And the union is also said to be discussing the threat of Government trying to recoup money from a bond put up by Union Asset Holdings Ltd. for the failed Berkeley school project.

BIU president Chris Furbert would not be drawn on what was causing the disruption although he said the meeting, due to start at 12.30 p.m. should "probably take no more than an hour".

He promised to update the media after that meeting. Government has yet to comment on the situation.

Recently Auditor General Larry Dennis had argued that the Progressive Labour Party Government would not go after more than $15 million owed from sacked Berkeley contractors ProActive because it would mean calling on a performance bond of $6.8 million, collateralised by the buildings of the Bermuda Industrial Union (BIU), and collectable from Union Asset Holdings Ltd.

He said he believed Government would never try to get the $6.8 million bond from Union Asset Holdings Ltd. because it risked killing the BIU.

But Attorney General Kim Wilson told The Royal Gazette that Government was serious about getting its money back.

She said: "This matter is in hand and we anticipate resolution in due course."

Mr. Dennis has also revealed that Government, via their solicitors, had written a letter dated January 12, 2009, telling Union Asset Holdings to pay the sum within 14 days.

The letter, from Conyers Dill & Pearman, added: "Failing payment, steps will be taken to compel payment of this sum without further notice."

Meanwhile anger about danger at the bus terminal continues.

One angry bus driver told The Royal Gazette yesterday that colleagues were fed up nothing had been done, despite the claims, to address safety at the bus terminal.

Other than removing a couple of parking bays the situation was the same as when the hub was rebuilt three years ago said the driver, who said drivers could not safely back out of the bays without a dispatcher being on hand to watch.

The driver said off-duty Police occasionally popped by to try to stop motorists using the area as a short-cut, but more must be done.

Since February drivers have been on a work-to-rule, which has stopped overtime work.

And with tomorrow being a public holiday, the action could stop services said the source.
