BEC Talks Break Down, Prepare for Blackouts
Contract talks between the Bahamas Electrical Union and management of the dysfunctional Bahamas Electricity Corp. have broken down, with the union refusing to continue negotiations. Residents and businesses are told to brace for additional blackouts.
Although the union has emphatically stated that their members were not responsible for last week's all-day blackout, many people feel that the timing of the power outage, right after talks broke down before, was too coincidental. Further, the company has been unable to give a satisfactory explanation for the costly blackout.
