The Public Service Union (PSU) in Belize is intensifying its efforts to address concerns over the transition of the Belize Tax Service into a Semi-Autonomous Revenue Authority (SARA). A major point of contention is the potential removal of the PSU as the bargaining agent for tax service employees, a move that has sparked significant debate. PSU President Dean Flowers has urged the Government of Belize to respond to these concerns promptly, warning of further actions if no resolution is reached. Flowers emphasized the union’s dual focus on safeguarding public revenues and protecting the welfare of approximately 200 employees who could be impacted by the transition. Despite setting an October 3 deadline for a response, the government has yet to address the union’s concerns. Flowers criticized comments from the Director General of the Belize Tax Service, Michelle Longsworth, suggesting that the PSU’s role would be eliminated post-transition, labeling such statements as ‘foolish.’ Longsworth, in a written response, clarified that once SARA is established, employees would no longer be classified as public officers but as employees of the new authority. She assured that their rights to representation and collective bargaining would be protected, though the specifics of how current PSU members would be affected remain under review. The transition has raised questions about the future of labor representation in Belize’s tax administration, with both sides emphasizing the need for careful consultation to ensure employee rights are upheld.
