Staff sickout hits CIBC FirstCaribbean Bank

Dozens of CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank workers islandwide have reportedly called in 'sick' after recent talks with management to address concerns about a staff shortage failed.
President-General of the Bustamante Industrial Trade Union (BITU) Senator Kavan Gayle said workers from several branches and units have reported being 'unwell'.
CIBC has notifed its customers to expect some inconvenience because of the "industrial action".
Meanwhile, he said a notice that staff may take 'action' was served on the bank last week after negotiations to deal with the human resource issues fell through
The BITU represents more than 500 CIBC workers.
More details to come.
