Agreed. The FNM messed up big time on this. They were crazy to even consider putting money into a run down hotel. Maybe $10 million but no more than that.
Please note..."This is in addition to other increases that are proposed under the industrial agreement, according to State Minister for Public Service Pia Glover-Rolle."
She doesn't state anywhere that these are the bottom paid workers. In fact, she said that this is for every level of worker. AND it's in addition to other increases outside of minimum wage - which is mandatory.
We simply can't afford to keep the number of government workers we currently have on the payroll, let alone give 2,000 of them an increase. As Bahamianson said (above) - where is this money coming from?
I would like to see China re-open the British Colonial Hotel. We never hear anything about it's reopening. Is the plan to keep it closed until The Bahamas gives them something in return?
If government had the sense to go to the table first then this embarrassment could have been avoided. Too bad this new day government don't think so good.
PLP has only done what's best for themselves. They preach about looking out for the poor man but everything they do hurts the poor man. VAT on breadbasket items and on medicine. They are cruel, greedy and corrupt. Always have been and it looks like they alway will be. The only group of people the PLP care about are rich black folk who share their wealth with the party. When that group wasn't big enough for their greed they made more rich black men by legitimizing their illegal activities. There are only a few dozen people that the PLP look out for and you're not one of them!!!
