The Barbados Workers' Union is a national trade union in Barbados. It has 25,000 members and represents them directly, negotiating with individual companies in each sector. Its membership covers all areas of employment in Barbados: agriculture, tourism and restaurant Services, transport (road, sea and air), government and statutory boards, banking and insurance, manufacturing and industry, construction, commerce and general services.[1]

History

The union was established in October 1941 following the British West Indian labour unrest of 1934–1939. The Barbados Workers' Union Labour College, which is the residential educational arm of the BWU, opened on 20 September 1974.[2]
