Dave Beckford

Dave Beckford is the vice-president of the Bahamas General Workers Union (BGWU) and a seasoned trade unionist known for his advocacy on behalf of workers' rights. Recently, he made headlines by publicly opposing the Trades Union Congress's (TUC) call for a Labour Day boycott, labeling it as an extreme measure and expressing his disagreement with TUC president Obie Ferguson's stance. Beckford emphasized the positive developments in labor relations under the current Davis administration, highlighting the signing of 55 industrial agreements since the last general election, and urged workers to continue participating in the Labour Day celebrations as a show of unity and support for the progress made.
