Fresh off its 104th Annual General Meeting, Belize’s Public Service Union (PSU) held a crucial Council of Management gathering in Belize City on September 11, 2026, where representatives from every region of the country gathered to lay organizational groundwork and outline potential next steps on a slate of urgent national challenges. According to PSU President Dean Flowers, the two-day meeting was organized specifically to address the growing number of high-stakes issues facing both the union’s membership and the broader Belizean public, many of which have been bubbling to the surface over the past several months. After the close of the discussions, Flowers confirmed that union leadership will return to local chapters across the country to consult directly with rank-and-file members, who will ultimately vote on a formal mandate to guide the union’s response. In blunt remarks following the meeting, Flowers criticized the Belizean government’s approach to ongoing negotiations, noting that the PSU has exercised consistent patience, diplomacy, and good faith on key issues in recent months—only to be met with a lack of reciprocal cooperation from national officials. The meeting culminated in the formation of dedicated working committees to handle individual issue areas, setting the stage for the membership vote that will determine the union’s official position and any future collective action.
