With Chris Furbert announcing his intention to step down as President of the Bermuda Industrial Union, The Daily Hour reflects on his leadership, impact and the legacy he will leave behind.
Whatever one’s view of his tenure, Furbert has been a prominent voice in Bermuda’s labour movement, often willing to take strong positions in defence of the union and its members. We’ll discuss how his leadership should ultimately be assessed, where the BIU has progressed during his time at the helm, and the questions that remain as his tenure approaches its end.
But our conversation also looks forward. What kind of leader does the BIU need next? With the workforce and economy continuing to evolve, we’ll discuss the qualities, priorities and vision the next president will need to effectively represent union members in 2026 and beyond.
