so all over the Bahamas boats are licensed that may, or may not, meet any kind of standard. how does that happen? how can a boat be built and licensed for use if there exists no regulations regarding construction of boats in the first place? how is a boat that meets no standard insured or was it insured? if not insured, how does one get a tour business licence to use a boat built to no known standard? its all rubbish. Andros BAMSI all over again. sounds very similar to the local aviation scene too. what a mess we are in in this country...
poor Ace.. yet again, plenty talking but saying nothing. he couldn't say a single word that defends Archer's appointment, couldn't list his relevant training or experience,.... nothing. don't need to have a high IQ to figure out what happened...
No employee on any job should be subject to threats, intimidation or disrespectful behaviour. the matter should be investigated internally and addressed as required. As for Union threats to harm the national economy, the Minister of National Security has an obligation to investigate Maynard and his associates especially to see if they have any involvement in damaging events recently. they always amend labour laws for less hours and more pay. well if not already, a law must be put on the books to hold union leaders legally responsible for threats or actions intended to harm the economy. too much loose talk in this country.
hundreds of millions needed for BEC and Bahamasair who cant pay their bills without help, millions and millions for hotels on GB, WTO accession whatever that will bring, and the list goes on. i say, lets wait and see..
No brain people. firstly, the cables should all be on those posts on the side of the road. the water pipes should be either on the roadside or condition verified before paving. Finally, given the unbearable impact this will have on road users, one has to ask the obvious question, why cant this be done at night, say 10:00pm to 6:00am and on weekends? police, hospital, airport and hotel workers work those hours.. just typical, lazy, brain-dead, we dont give a s**it attitude..
Saudi Arabia is an extreme example of barbaric justice but one thing for sure, it works.. crime virtually non-existent.. so, what price to pay for safety and peace of mind?
these folks aren't silly... they know a sinking ship when they see it and they also know the best separation package they could ever hope for will come from a weak and gullible gov't. whatever happened to long established practices like redundancy and outright termination.
'significantly less' is gov't code talk meaning we won't do all that is required but we will say we did. a few years frm now, they will come to us and say oh, its worse than we were led to believe and we will have to now spend x dollars to repair. next thing is, we know in this country, estimates aren't worth the paper they are written on. look at the baseball stadium.
