PRESS RELEASE
The National Workers Union is deeply concerned with the internal hemorrhaging
of job losses which continues to occur without signs of abeyance. It is extremely
unfortunate that St. Lucia has failed to grasp timely opportunities to structure a
plan aimed at job security and economic stabilization.
We cannot ignore the fact most of the jobs lost have sustained workers over many
years and were linked to the National Insurance Corporation, Inland Revenue
Department, Financial Institutions, Water & Sewerage Authority, Cable &
Wireless (Lime), St. Lucia Electricity Services, Credit Unions etc.
For those who do not want to hear, many businesses are recording economic
erosion and are unable to meet traditional targets that positively helped the entities
for many years. However, it is sad and discouraging when you have no one to turn
to.
Labour and Capital will now have to move more quickly to be given some form of
dialogue that would enable each side to better understand their plights, and
establish a cooperation Pact. We cannot continue to bury our heads in the sand.
