    Not to worry guys, postal workers are represented by the union. If today’s result with the bus driver is any indication, these three alledged drug importers can rest assured that their jobs are safe. They’ll have jobs waiting for them when they finish serving their time. Committing a crime (allegedly) on the job is okay so long as you have the union to walk out in support of your actions.

  2. Not so proud Bermudian... says:

    Don’t worry guys – your jobs will be re-instated and you’ll be paid for the time you weren’t working. However, we will have to put a little note in your file.

  3. US Observer says:

    We will see based on recent events. If the citizens of Bermuda can’t trust their postal officers when it comes to the importation of illegal drugs/packages…I’ll leave the rest for you to finish. Who is monitoring the monitors and who is monitoring them? Remember, the Ways and Means committee is very small and tight.

      Good thing the US has no issues with drug importation. Oh wait…

    • round and round we go..... says:

      Ever heard of freedom of speech?

    • Bermudian says:

      Question? Why comment on what the foreigner has to say when he or she is exactly right.

      The monitors are the ones with the means and the powers to get the stuff here.

      Agreed?

  5. Tired of nonsense says:

    I predict a strike by Postal workers in the very near future…

  6. Au Contraire says:

    What do you mean “former” postal workers. They ain’t convicted yet. Where’s the union? Come on Chris, there’s work to do at the Post Office. Alleged drug dealing isn’t a basis for firing someone is it?

    /sarcasm off/

    • Happy says:

  8. 1 800 BIU 4YOU says:

    Are you a worker currently in deep poo for violating your terms and conditions of employment? Not to worry. With the BIU we’ll band together and make sure you’re reinstated with minimum penalties. Just dial 1-800-BIU-4YOU!!

  9. US Observer says:

    MPP and Curious George…I still hold in my hand a British Dependent Territory Citizen Passport – Place of Issue: BERMUDA

  10. Terry says:

    The irony of some of these comments are, if I had said them……

    As for US Observer. Thats fine.
