NASSAU, BAHAMAS- Members of the Bahamas Hotel Catering and Allied Workers Union

(BHCAWU) are protesting at the foot of the Sir Sidney Poitier Bridge this morning over claims that hotel executives, during negotiations, have decided not to increase wages for employees who fall under the tipping category.

This is a developing story.
