Its sickening how organized labour can basically blackmail the employer with fake sick calls, and employer does nothing. How can it be that only unions seem to have tactics they cam use but employer has none?

Based on what is reported here, looks like a little knowledge is a dangerous thing..clearly these pilots thought they knew more than they really did. Secondly, based on this report if accurate (that aircraft was reported stolen) i wonder why they did that? Lots of questions.

this is a result of diplomatic efforts by Foreign Affairs Minister Darren Henfield and Bahamian ambassador to the United States Sidney Collie... is that so? Or was it because the Bahamas just happened to be one of the many countries the US intended to offer it to and all we had to say was yes please or no thanks?

I agree with Sir Franklyn regarding the almost total dismissal of what this country will face in years to come.. Minnis said he chose lives over money (paraphrase).. big talk and noble values but kind of unrealistic.. maybe one or two are here who might not have been, we don't know, but the economic price will be for all to see.. we lose folks to smoking and drinking; apparently thats okay.

The pandemic presented a gokden opportuntiy to wind this disaster up.. more lost opportunities.. i mean really, after 50 years of losses, why is this year going to be any different?

We shouldnt be comforted by assurances that future budget deficits will come down.. so long as there is a deficit, it means the debt is still rising.. so a financial crisis is not a if, but more a when. What is equally concerning is a large portion of this debt will create nothing.. its handouts and debt servicing.

I agree with Davis on this.. Employers must have the right to determine the conditions for anyone who works at their establishment. this denies nobody their rights.. the employees choice is exercised when they decide if business 'X' is where they want to work. You have no right to be employed anywhere, you just decide if the place fits your values or if their rules gel with what you are prepared to accept.

Their concerns are legitimate. But lets face the facts, testing proves nothing except your status at time of testing. Everyone entering the country must be negative according to PCR testing yet we have had numerous cases attributed to travel. There has to be some consideration of the economic effect of these restrictions.. future generations of bahamians will carry a heavy burden because of the cost of this pandemic here. Lets strike a balance, no PCR test to enter, but still wear mask maybe?

So whats with the appointments ? If you want to make getting jab convenient why not just say where to go and when for those eligible and then do first come, first served ptovided you ptoduce photo ID with birthdate.

I don’t know why deciding that anyone from Brazil, SA and Schengen zone not be allowed entry is a difficult decision. PM has always said he is destroying the economy to save Iives. That suggests keeping persons who may be able to transmit a far more contagious variant out.
