Government's move, you say?
If the unions and the kinds of representatives we vote for, do not show greater maturity, knowledge and responsiblity regarding their impact on the economy, we will soon see the return of the hardships associated the 1930 disturbances.
If not, the cummulative effect of the idiocy that has passed and continues to pass for government and good governance in this place will make this place a living hell-hole.
More game playing.
Government and the Unions work hand in hand particularly when dealing with public servants.
The reality is as follows: Give me more money, I vote for you come election time.
St. Lucians get nailed to the wall as usual.
Kenny Anthony will game play right up to the final minute and he and the unions will then hug & kiss and borrow more money in the name of our children to give public servants higher wages.
We do not think it is a problem because it is money we have to pay back in the future so we venally act as if nothing really happened.
Areed with above. The time is slowly coming when we will have massive layoffs and riot conditions. By then Kenny will be off in some big job acting as if he had nothing to do with the problem
i will wait to what see government do before i comment
Unless we cease and desist from voting into parliament and having complete idiots and ignoramuses in the labour movement, we will continue to see and hear remarks such as its the government's move.
Government's move my big toe!
The idiots in government will always protect themselves as they have with their guaranteed pensions.
The people will continue to pay as they pass on their re-election moves, by paying inordinate salaries to our armies of paper-pushers who most often merely report to their places of work, but on arrival, hardly do any work at all.
Lazy civil servants plus lazy and dumb government ministers. What an aweful combination for a developing country!
For their guaranteed salaries and pensions, instead of working hard, public servants including government ministers in Saint Lucia, are hardly working.
As a concerned citizen of this nation, I am embarrassed and ashamed of the crackpot crap that leaders in government, the unions and the newspapers write and say.
No effort is ever made to write an informed, educated or researched piece on the critical issues that face this nation, in the face of globalization.
What a diet of crap are the young people of this nation being fed on a daily basis!
How many fakes and flakes can this poor nation tolerate without digging a larger and deeper crater of a hell hole?
Saint Lucia is really idiot country.
It is not only St. Lucia that has a problem with an ill informed, propagandized electorate who simple do not understand how they are being taken for a ride.
in the United States aside from voting for the biggest fraud to hold the office of President the American electorated did the following.
Polls show that Congress has only a 9 % approval rating yet the American people re-elected 22 out of 23 incumbent senators and over 90% of the incumbent Congressmen seeking re-election.
So you have CEOs/Directors (Congressmen and Senators) who are consistently bankrupting your company yet you the shareholders(voters/citizens) at the annual shareholders meeting put almost all of the Directors back in power.
Goes to show you how the electorate has been so bamboozled by the media, academia and politicians. all for the free goodies they cannot afford.
St. lucia Anyone!
The US has a bible-belt and a mid-section of their country teeming with sanctimonious bozos, bastards, and BS-ers, comprising large cross-sections of both politicians and ordinary regular voters. But that does not mean that we have to follow them?
These bible-thumping and bible-toting retards are fighting the Civil War as the South all the time. They have not yet given up their assine ignoramus mentality since end of formal military hostilities.
The enemies of America are gleeful that these religious bastards and nitwits are gearing up to take the USA and dependent developing economies through yet another global financial crisis.
Clearly no one commenting here read this story. It is about the finer points of how negotiations are approached. Furthermore it addressed a section of the work force which is toward the bottom and as such facing more difficulty than other civil servants. You people are out of touch. You clearly do not understand anything about negotiations or government, if you think that any compromise between parties is somehow nailing St. Lucians to the wall. Clearly government is not the problem YOU ARE!

Tortured logic. What a boatload of solemn nonsense!
Anybody who knows anything about real negotiations, would recognize the importance and value of 'framing' or reframing a negotiating issue.
To those who will ULTIMATELY be affected by the outcome of these negotiations, rather than looking at the individual agreements or negotiations in isolation, meaning, the wider general public, the negotiators must NOT lose sight of the knock-on and ripple effects of each of those settlements on the wider economy.
Therefore, there is a critical need to reframe the issues being brought to, or being laid on the table at the negotiation sessions.
Absent such and similar concerns, then the more aware and discerning can reasonbly conclude that the actors and those opposed, ON BOTH SIDES OF THE NEGOTIATING TABLE, cannot see the forest for the trees!
So KeNEEEE is addressing the Nation tonight. More game playing to show he is soooooo concerned about debt.
The IMF has him in a vice saying that "you borrowed billions and you have expanded the civil service by thousands and you cannot get the economy moving - this has to stop'
So he has to ACT as if he is doing something but in the end the unions will get at least 50 to 75% of what they want even though the reality is that we need to start CUTTING government jobs.
Kenny only knows how to tax(VAT), borrow( $2.5 billion) and spend ($12 billion ). You think he can stop now ? Do not bet on it.

Crap repeated three times. Why?
To place the blame fully on this administration is to be totally dishonest and fail admit that the last labour agreement was not negotiated by the SLP, but by a super-idiot misnammed a prime minister.
If the imposter up to now does not know his %$#$@ from his elbow about business or economics, what the hell do you think we are going to deal with as we struggle with the fall-out from all this ignorance, now and in the future?
The public service was handed a nonsustainable increase. Now they want another crazy settlement on top of that?
Saint Lucia is overrun by hordes of idiots.
Little wonder they say that Saint Lucia is idiot country.
Yes i. That's right.
