Just two days into the 2026 sugar harvest, workers at the Portvale Sugar Factory downed tools.
Employees at the Blowers, St. James facility walked off the job around 7 this morning, striking over a range of unresolved issues.
Following a meeting with the workers, General Secretary of the Unity Workers Union, Caswell Franklyn, said they were frustrated over the factory’s management failure to address several outstanding grievances.
