Several Bermuda Industrial Union members have received summonses from Magistrates’ Court, according to a press statement released by the BIU this morning.

The statement urged those who had received summonses to bring them to BIU headquarters.

“It has come to the attention of the BIU that several members of the BIU have received summonses from Magistrate’s Court during the last 24 hours,” the statement said.

“BIU president, Chris Furbert, is requesting that those BIU members who have been served summonses bring the summonses to BIU Headquarters so that they can be dealt with by the Union’s legal representatives.”

It’s understood the summonses relate to the protest outside the House of Assembly on December 2.
