Leader of the Barbados Worker Union Sir Roy Trotman says poor leadership in all aspects of life is responsible for the ills in the Barbadian society and the workplace.
In a hard hitting speech in the Senate yesterday during the a debate on Public Service Amendment Order 2011, Sir Roy charged the only way forward was for those in leadership positions to recognize the contradictions within the society and their contribution to them and move to correct it.
According to Sir Roy, as a result of these negative aspects, absenteeism and unpunctuality in the workplace were epidemic.
"They had become so because the leaders of organizations were themselves setting poor examples, as well as willing accepting this behaviour from workers.The evils that we have in the workplace don't spring from out ether but rather they are reflection of the contradictions that we have in our community, and very often those are reflected in the contradictions in our leadership. And we have in some degree or the other contributed to the slippage of values that are now bringing us to a stage where to be good is to be wrong,where to be honest is to be laughable", Sir Roy said.
