Strike Looms Over BDC2000 Payroll Shift | Bermuda News

Workers at BDC2000 are poised to strike this Friday over a drastic payroll change—switching from being paid three weeks in advance to being paid in arrears, leaving employees with just one week’s pay for September. The company offers loans, vacation payouts, or forfeiting holiday savings as fixes, but many workers say it’s not enough. Led by the Bermuda Industrial Union’s Chris Furbert, union and non-union staff are being urged to unite and walk off the job if management won’t budge. The company insists its position is fair, claiming workers haven’t earned the money they’d miss during the lag, and that loan repayments don’t start until April 2027. With tensions rising and some already skipping work, the deadline to sign off on the new system is Friday—and the strike could go ahead unless the company changes course.
