Suriname’s Energybedrijven Suriname (EBS) is currently embroiled in a storm of governance issues, internal tensions, and a growing lack of trust. The situation escalated when the union clashed with the management following the dismissal of union chairman Marciano Hellings. Despite rulings from both the Labor Inspectorate and the Dismissal Commission favoring Hellings, the management refused to accept the decision, leading to a highly charged atmosphere within the company.
