Indeed, it smells like exactly this. That James guy is really suspect.

He is well known to have a checkered history [one that is not positive at all] , Hence the reason he suddenly some years ago, ended up out of the mainstream of the Police Force and was somehow running the Police Credit Union. If this is the same guy.

Was he the guy who was involved in something to do with Canadians who escaped from the Gros-Islet Police Station and whose laptops were found in the Officer's possession?

There can be little trust in this individual, if he is the same person.

In all the hoop-la-la involving the request for salary increases by civil servants, we must never put the real issue aside. That is to say, the reckless expenditure, wastage of much valuable monies of the Treasury; and the senseless losses of millions of taxpayers monies from the Treasury whether it be ROCHAMEL, NCA, GRENBERG, or whatever.

This is the REAL issue. This is what has this country wallowing in this dirty black mud.

Good for you Martin James. That's what you call being a good citizen. You put country first instead of greed.

The rest will have no choice but to follow suite. I applaud the Police Association for it's bold and patriotic move.

Please understand that workers demanding pay increases during especially tough economic times has absolutely nothing to do with greed. It is well within their right to protest seemingly unfair conditions of work.

However, after learning that the CSA has soundly rejected the offer of 4.5% with conditions, in favor of a 9.5% increase without conditions, I'm beginning to question their judgement. Why forgo conditions that would have far greater economic and social impact than an extra $20 in your pocket?! (Would've been useful if we knew for certain what the average civil servant's salary amounted to.) How would this affect today's 55-year-old retiree who will have no access to a pension until age 65 or at least until the next triennium?

I shudder to think that this is the sort of shortsighted rationale that guides our Public Service.

As for the Police Association, I am hesitant about praising any organization that appears to usurp an umbrella body prior to consensus.

Look beyond the spectre of "national pride" as there is nothing bold nor patriotic about glaring connivance and cowardice. Principle dictates that the head of the Police Association should've returned to the Trade Union Federation to inform all concerned about the conclusion of his members to accept the 4% offer.

Instead, he independently usurps the collective bargaining process and goes straight to the Government Negotiating Team. Oh, Jimmy Iscariot, wherefore art thine principles?!

I do not believe the government should be made to pay any increase it can ill-afford, but I find this behaviour particularly repulsive.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

JAMES is well known to be not much.

Integrity? Umh!

We must never forget that it was under Kenny Anthony's administration that he REMOVED the Civil Service Government Pension and nowe Civil Servants must wait until 65 or whatever age the National Insurance dictates.

The whole idea of a civil service pension was one of the tenets of the Public Service.

On the other hand Kenny Anthony increased salaries and hence pensions for Politicians after FIVE years in Office.

Kenny must go. He is [look I can't even find the right word] that is not very insulting and I do not wish to disrespect the newspaper.

How stupid can people be? The Police Force is the basically backbone of the government. Everyone knows by now that government keep in control of the nation by instilling fear in the people and that the police is their right hand. So they must give the police what they want and more which is not really divulged to the public. Therefore for James to say that there was no politics involved in the so called negotiations or "acceptance" is truly insulting to the intelligence of those who refuse to lie still like idiotic lambs. In the name of peace we understand very well what is happening and that is good if some compromise was reached, but let us hope it does not come back to bite some of us smack dab in the behind.
The thing is, people are no longer as naive as they once were, and we know very well that politics is always involved in everything that goes on in our country....so please, spare us the "country before self bullshit." Proper reasoning would prove that if "self ain't good then country will suffer."
