MoU Labor Management Committee

On Thursday, November 24, 2016, NV GEBE’s Managing Board signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the St. Maarten Communication Union (SMCU), establishing herewith the company’s Labor Management Committee. The committee will consist of representatives of management and employees and has as objective to assist management, in creating and stimulating an improved work environment. The committee’s main mission will be, to conduct research and provide recommendation, on personnel- and operational related issues that might hamper the organization’s vision and its strategic goals.

 

By taking a closer look and reporting its findings to management, the committee will be able to help solving many issues, before they become friction, reason of frustration, or hazardous situations.

Mr. Sherman Serastis, secretary of the SMCU, was elated with the fact that NVGEBE showed its willingness to be the first government owned company, with SMCU representation, to take the initiative in signing such an important joint cooperation.
