Nation Update: Former CBC staffers’ pensions abated

A group of disgruntled pensioners of the Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) say they are considering their next move after learning that their monthly pensions have been reduced. The former employees, numbering about 20, met recently at Brandons Beach to discuss what they described as an unexpected and distressing development. At the centre of the issue is Government’s decision to treat them as civil servants following its takeover of the collapsed CBC private pension plan. Spokesperson for the group, Rosemary Alleyne, a retired veteran broadcaster, said the group was shocked when letters from the Treasury informed them that their pensions would be abated. In some cases, retirees are losing between $1 500 and $1 600 per month. Video by Reco Moore #Barbados #BarbadosNews #YourNewsYourTimeYourWay #TheSourceMatters
