As a serving teacher it seems union finances are often shrouded in mystery and many times the appointed accountants have been unable to submit a full report at the annual AGM. Why was a portion of the BUT membership fees supposed to be used for a teachers pension suddenly used elsewhere. As far as I am aware no teacher received any BUT teachers pension. So many other official institutions seem to regard full and regular disclosure of members funds or fund raising activities as not important

Has the BUT ever had its annual accounts ratified?

Even in the early eighties, Boaters came down laden with dry and canned food, then after mooring for weeks would jet off in their rubber boats diving and shooting anything and everything for the evening ,meal. Their contribution to the economy was liquor and the local bars.

What a laugh when you have Trump cosying up to a communist dictator who started a war, thinks nothing of assassination of native Russians living abroad. If China invades Taiwan will Trump allow them to keep 20 % of conquered land and then cosy up to the leader of China , I guess he won't be bothered then about China's engagement with the Bahamas.

How about the last director of education telling certain practical teachers that they would be rehired when reaching pensionable age. This of course was a blatant lie and they ignored qualified teachers, with their own accommodation, knowledge of the children and with proven exam results. What did they do in their wisdom, either leave that subject such as woodwork without a teacher or hire a Cuban teacher with all the costs involved and absolutely no interest in becoming part of the community.. I absolutely agree that if there is a young qualified Bahamian looking for employment then it is unfair and blatantly wrong to re hire a recently retired person.

Try teaching with the backbiting amongst some staff and amateur principals who rule by dictate rather than consultation with staff. Bad ACR's given on staff as a method used by some principals to cause problems.

What the stupid American voters who voted for Trump did not realise is that tarrifs on goods especially from China will firstly ignite a world wide trade war and secondly raise prices in the USA. There again he will probably do a deal with Putin and Kim, great guys in his eyes.
