Folks can be as nasty as they want. That will not change the fact of that matter. When the pesent Government came into power they did so based on a lie. They promised to fix the economy knowing full well that the world’s economy was in shabbles. If the American ecomomy was messed up then of course Bermuda’s would follow. The Honorable. Minister of Finance knew this to be the case. In my opinion if he had a solution to
solving Bermuda’s economic problems without America’s economy turning around he would have done so long time ago. Stop picking on the underclass to help you solve this problem. This crises that we find ourselves in is much bigger than Bermuda. Goo luck.

Sounds like a typical suspect blogger to me, trying to make people look bad.

Funny how people fail to realize that protest for justice and fighting for what is right includes a willing sacrifice which may include lost wages or even their jobs in order to attain the overall vision or goal for the collective. Those naysayers spewing hate on these blogs or were sitting on the sidelines jeering will never understand nor possess the courage to stand up for such convictions with their shortsightedness while making fun denigrating those who do. Just read up on past history which was repeated this week. Will the naysayers ever learn?

Kudos to those who showed the courage these past few days and were willing to battle the cold and rainy weather even overnight, no different to the courage shown in protests of yesteryears. MLK, Dr.
E.F. Gordon and others went through the same painful struggles enduring the nastiness and worst while being called nuisances, agitators and all the name calling we hear now. Yet they are honoured now in the history books. Many here unfortunately refuse to be on the right side of history. It’s ironic that those who oppose this and similar actions have often pulled out MLK or Mandela quotes to support their own hatred, the very thing these men opposed. Like @ boss said, those indirectly benefiting from current employment and labour laws even in the private sector do so from the courage of convictions of past protestors just like this one. Long live the power of the people!

What is really irritating to me is that now having gone back to work will they be working and being paid “overtime” to play catch up on the work that should have done during the time they have been off? As an importer it is costing me money waiting for Customs to get to all the paperwork for 3 ships arriving this week – maybe I will have to “furlough” my staff until Customs releases my documents and I can continue with my day to day business!!

Depends on your perspective, the weather was nice and there was music and food and everyone got time off to catch up with their aceboys. Who cares about debt and people’s jobs.

Question to the union members, for the people who did not get paid yesterday are you going to the Union demanding payment for yesterdays lost wages?

Says the guy that reaps the benefits of past union struggles — you think the many work benefits that you take for granted was an employer generated concept..clearly you are no student of history..and the rest of your quote kinda fits your profile..
