The Butler family got filthy rich selling to poor black Bahamians over-the-hill who could not shop in much lower cost white establishments for decades. You get your family to hire the 190 Bahamians laid-off by Baha Mar LBT! Our Government and Courts made sure your family got back its millions of dollars foolishly given to that Australian swindler named Turner. Our Government and Courts similarly took care of the likes of the Maynard-Gibson family when it came to CLICO, leaving all small Bahamian investors with life insurance and investment annuities issued by CLICO high and dry! Pull out your cheque book LBT....these poor Bahamians without a job will need at least a decent size turkey come Christmas time, and they sure won't get it from Minnis!

PGC is not going to do anything in this matter he is bought and paid for by the chinese.Lorretta doesnt care either she just trying to score political points,so sad we have no real leadership in our present trying times just thieves and robbers fighting for power.

Yeah, just help them find new jobs that don't require them to actually be good at what they do....try doing that lady! Baha Mar told these workers (and the others that were told they would have jobs there), last year to "shape up"...which apparently none did. Good for Baha Mar for sticking to their guns! More employers need to demand more from their workers here in Bahamas....maybe it will get through to people that you can't be "slack off's" anymore!

I have stayed at the Wyndham. It is a dump. The staff there specialized in ignoring customers or treating them like some annoying second cousins who were freeloading in their home for a weekend. Worst hotel service I have ever encountered. I've seen county jails that were friendlier. And now the government wants to support their lazy azzes? Good riddance, I say.

Yep, Loretta has somehow managed grow set big balls. Really, a funny thing seems to have happened on way to unseating her leader on November 21. Comrade Sister Loretta has completely forgotten that while she sat in Hubert's red cabinet, he reminded the public that; "he does not accept that the granting of 8150 Chinese labourers work permits to Baha Mar, in any way violates his government's demands that Atlantis must maintain a workforce ratio 70% Bahamalander's on their job sites? At no time did Atlantis under their red shirts Heads of Agreement, call for the construction of a complete Living Quarters Village to have housed 8160 Chinese labourers? Where is the shame of this red shirts leadership hopeful? I tell it as it actually went down in full view of a woman called Loretta, as she sat around that cabinet table.

LBT will continue to speak for the downtrodden just like Papa Milo ........... keep up the good work. Do not be deterred by the haters .............. stay focused on the GOAL (2017)

@ duppyvat...BLT is the absolute worse person imaginable to even mention the legacy of Sir Milo Butler in the same breath!

Milo Should be turning in his grave and trying to send all kind of messages about his disgraceful grand-daughter.

BLT is a Butler by blood. But this disgusting witch holds no respect for Bahamians what-so-ever!

Is the assumption that the workers lived paycheck to paycheck?
Did they put nothing aside for "a rainy day"?
Realizing the concern some might have with not being fed for a day,
where in this is the Government obligated to do squat?
It is stated they were paid out properly,
Bad ideas and ideology all stemming from this perverse need to remain enslaved.

I agree 100% with Clam....I stayed at both properties and the service was the worst I have ever had. I had towels with blood stain in my room, when I ask for help or ask a question I felt I was being a bother to the employees. It was disgusting. I say get rid of them and hire new people. Sometimes some people get too comfortable and set in their ways on the job.

She playing the type of politics that lame brain politicians does play. . .promises. . promises and gee..gee..gee..without finding good solutions for systemic problems!!! She is fulla horse doo doo ya hear. . .plenty huff and no puff!!

Could it be Comrade Sister Loretta playing the fool or just maybe we got it all wrong how she was in Papa Hubert's red cabinet? Has Loretta forgotten the harsh no notice firings at ZNS? I'm guessing has no recall about all the years on job workers fired by BTC? Has Loretta really forgotten all about those "Help Wanted" ads ran internationally, but not locally, by the new foreigner owners BTC to recruit foreigner workers? You know, she has not forgotten? Was she not in cabinet when Papa returned from China with 8150 Chinese work permits in he satchel?

All of you who have STINK on LBT please state them or shut the hell up!!!!!!!!!!
