Nassau, Bahamas  - Cable Bahamas today expressed its disappointment and surprise with the Bahamas Communications and Public Officers Union (BCPOU) statement reported to the press today regarding its relationship with the union.

The company stated that it has been abiding by a Supreme Court ruling and has been working with the leadership of the BCPOU in good faith over the years. Truth be told, the most recent discussions with the BCPOU and Cable Bahamas' labour consultants took place, on two occasions in May of this year. At the meeting, the union chose to advise Cable Bahamas that it would continue the discussions but would send their preferred approach in writing. Cable Bahamas is still awaiting communication from the BCPOU as promised. 

Cable Bahamas further stated that the health and safety of its employees and customers, in all of its facilities, has always been a top priority. The company advised that it is working closely and in correspondence with all Government agencies associated with the environmental disaster it is currently enduring at its Robinson Road customer service building. The company is working to ensure the earliest possible resolution to this matter for the neighbourhood, the employees and the company's affected facility.

Cable Bahamas prides itself in the fact that it is 100% Bahamian owned, considered as one of the premier employers in the country, employing approximately 500 Bahamians.
