Whether women employees flock to work at the low wage establishment because of exceptional maternity benefits or not, is of no concern. This is such a stupid statement from Ms. Burrows. Does she think the management of Super Value should have no concern for the ability of the company to continue to offer catastrophic health care? This is not government with a a seemingly bottomless well of money taken through taxes from the workers. I can only assume that Ms Burrows knows nothing about how private businesses work and she probably got a D- in mathematics at high school. She is well qualified to be a PLP cabinet minister though.

I think Richard Lightbourne already suggested that and it did not meet with universal approval from the illiterate electorate.

This is not true, the poser poster john just makes things up. That is why he will not give a name of anyone involved or even a date.

Good column, it all makes sense to me.

So now each of our electric bills for the thirty years or more will have to include a surcharge to ppay for the VSPs and pensions of this overstaffed government owned corporation. Multiply this situation by every other government owned entity, Multiply this this many times over to cover the unfunded pensions and we can expect a large and continuing cost of living rise in this country. This may snowball if the wealthy segments of society get fed up with power cuts, violent crime, and blame thrown by political operatives onto particular ethnic groups. An economic death spiral.

Hey, Testicleless, You are posting lies. The UBP brought in votes for women, the PLP actually voted against it but were the minority opposition so the vote passed. PLP supporters and associated parasites have started to believe their own lying revisionist history. The country is doomed, get out now if you can.

GreenTeat is woefully ignorant, stupid, or just likes posting lies. Rum Running cannot be compared to Drug smuggling. Rum Running by Bahamians, or British as they then were, was quite legal and broke no laws of the land. Drug smuggling however is illegal. D- education at work or the usual PLP lies being generated.

What a very poor piece of reporting. Nothing about the trophy. Hand crafted in the foundry by Pete Johnson, Nothing about Peter Christie, whose family donated the trophy and which has been renamed in his honour as he or his boat raced in every regatta held since its inception. Nothing about Peter's grandson, shown presenting the trophy, Nothing about Peter Christie's Great granddaughter who sailed on the boat for the Hope Town race. I expect the piece was written by a state employed worker drone at the Ministry of Tourism as I would hate to think that the private sector could produce such a low level of not investigated journalism and missed opportunities.

BananasForBahamians is both woefully ignorant and a malicious twister of the truth. Moskos? They arrive in the colony 100 years after all slaves were granted their freedom by a white English government. Holeweskos? They arrived in the Bahamas approximately 140 years after the abolition of slavery. BananasForBahamians is just another pathetic black PLP supporter who has never worked a day in his life apart from his jokey government job that he was never qualified to do. May the Good Lord smite him down along with all the other evil-doers in this land.

Well, of course, anything Mr. Frederick Mitchell has to say on this matter must be taken very seriously. Ha Ha Ha...……..
