Where in the Caribbean? How about Puerto Rico. . .USVI. . San Martin. . .or any of the other more developed regional nations where the competition is this high class as the Bahamas? Sandals is a mom and pop company who can't compete outside of this region. . .or in the high end destinations in the region such as USVI, Bahamas etc.! No it will not be helped by the up-grades. . . because the court cases will show just how "yardie" this brand can operate. . .the whole world is watching yall poor business behaviour! This pyric victory will not go well for your brand. . . these "locals" will pull your smug tails down in the international mud so deep. . .you will forever only be able to operate in these here Caribbean back-water towns. . .
dumb foreigners get themselves into these stews. . .making poor decisions and expect people to give them a bligh because they are foreigner!
this will cost sandals big time. . .your hr person should have told you so! if these are the kind of decisions that you foreigners make. . .dont blame the locals for yall poor deciuision makeing skills. yall need to get better training in union busting. . .you suck at it! one case in court for the same and now this big pile of chicken doo. . .lol!
i suggest that they don't "run" yinna out of town. . . let ya stay. . .nobody else in the world will have ya business with those kind of silly practices!
Any first year Lawyer will tell you that no legal agreement can be entered into about anything that is illegal. . .therefore no waiver signed between the hotel and their workers is binding because redundancy payments are legal requirements for redundancies. . .the ACT dose not require signing any agreement for receiving those payments! the supreme court will enter this mess and clean the clocks for sandals. . .since our government will not do it! if you go and read the labour laws you will see that the hotel blatantly refused to follow the labour laws!
no patriotic bahamian should no allow this non-bahamian company to disregard our laws in such a "high handed" and arrogant manner!
if i had the power to confront this non-friendly company. . .they will no longer have work permits for anybody from outside of the bahamas while they are firing bahamians to sit down. . .allowing their country man to work in our nation on work permits!
You too need to go and ready the labour law. . .in the abscence of and union agreement, the labour law is authomatically enforced. . .which has more teeth in it than the union agreements! that is the reason that is said earlier that the hotel's move was so dumb because it did not have an existing agreement. . .therefore must comply with the current labour act. . .which will "jook" them all up!
the labour law has a whole section what is redundancy. . .how they are done, how much payment must be given in redundancies, how nobody can be re-hired in the redundant position and if the redundant position is ever re-opened, the person who was let go must get first shot at the newly re-opened redundant position etc.!
in case you don't know, in labour law a redundancy is the elimination of a work position that the company has no further use for. . .and the same law prohibits the company from "bring back" the redundant position after they done get rid of a person who they want dump and can't dump! i would suggests that persons who are cheer leading for Sandals should go read the labour act and see how deep in poopoo Sandals gone. . .absolute disregard for our labour law!!
Phew. . .one person on this site who knows a thing about the labour law of the Bahamas! This case will sink Sandals. . .they will pay out millions for court cost and compensations for wrongly fired workers!!
Their HR professional "mussie" got their training from down in "McCoy yard" down there on Market St and Palm Tree Ave. . .with McCoy brother Jane as the teacher! If this was a country such as USA, CA or even Jamaica that hotel will be "slapped" up side their heads and buried forever in court and be fined such a sum that it will never recover!
sandals will rue the day they ever went down that stupid road. . .the labour law will bury these hr persons who advised of this dumb union busting tactic!
that hotel hr person should be fired. . . core to hr philosophy is that their primary job is to keep their company from a major "jooking" from the court like which is coming for that hotel!!
the court will kill them. . .they will pay out many millions more. . . forced to re-instate. . .recognize the union right to form (ilo 87 and Bahamas Supreme ruling June 2011). . .they cannot re-filled redundant positions!
from an hr standpoint. . .there is a major **snfu** at that place!! they now have two bosses in court for union busting tactics now. . .and they gone and give theunion this hugh stick to wap them over their heads with. . .
Yall think that the hotel was brilliant in their "underhanded" move. . .just wait until they try to refill those redundant places. . .the labour law prohibits making jobs redundant to "rid" of unwanted union-affliated workers. . .the same positions **cannot** be filled at a later date. . .or the same worker has first preferance to that re-established position! yall need to go read the labour act. . .redundant means that the position is "cut out" and no longer needed. . .so the company eliminated the position! if that hotel re-hires anybody for positions made redundant it will find itself in court. . .the labour law will bury them deep deep deep. . .any person with hr training will tell them that. . .this will not work! now yall see why the hotel wants the redundant workers to "sign" them no-fault letters. each union-busted position will not be filled after they re-open. . .if the hotel does. . .they will get jooked so hard they mar will feel it wherever she is!!!!
