High powered team to act on WICB behalf

A high powered, four member team has been selected to represent the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) in negotiations with the West Indies Players’ Association (WIPA) over a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Collective Bargaining Agreement.



The team will comprise attorneys-at-law Derek Ali and Walter Scott, as well as management consultant Gerard Pinard, and industrial relations specialist Robert Morris.



The four man team will work with the WICB’s legal affairs officer Alanna Medford to establish new agreements that will include the contracting of a larger number of players to the WICB.



The WICB noted that the previous Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Collective Bargaining Agreement between the board and WIPA was for a term of three years and came to an end in September last year.



The WICB hopes to address players’ health, welfare, and fitness in the new agreements, as well as anti-doping and anti-corruption codes.
