There will be no lost of jobs at the state run Transport Board if the Barbados Labour Party is returned to office in the up coming general elections.
Leader of the Opposition Owen Arthur give this assurance to the staff of Transport Board last night at a mass meeting held at Villa Road, St Michael last night.
Arthur accused the Government of spreading propaganda implying that a BLP administration would immediately privatize the Transport Board and start sending home staff.
The former Prime Minister said that the Government had placed jobs at the Transport Board at peril by reducing its subsidy from $11 million back to $6 million.
"What the Transport Board really needs is $16 million to carry the students of Barbados", Arthur claimed.
"It was the Barbados Labour that took it to $6 million first.David Thomspon increased it to $11 million in 2009 and now this Freundel Stuart Government has taken it back $6 million. They are the ones that your job in peril. I have saved jobs before and I will save them again", Arthur told the cheering crowd
