THE BARBADOS UNION OF
TEACHERS (BUT) offers a range of essential services to support its members.
Ensuring safety and health is a top priority, exemplified by their involvement in cases like the Louis Lynch Secondary School issue, highlighting their commitment to the well-being of both teachers and students.
Through collective bargaining, the BUT assists members in negotiating contracts that cover crucial aspects such as pay, benefits, working hours, and health and safety policies, ensuring fair and balanced employment terms.
The union also emphasises professional development, recognising the importance of continuing education and career training. This helps teachers develop new skills, stay updated on current trends, and advance their careers.
In industrial relations, the BUT manages work-related obligations and entitlements, fostering a harmonious relationship between employers and employees.
This comprehensive approach ensures that teachers are well-supported in all aspects of their professional lives.
