Congratulations on your new position Jason Hayward; this no doubt will greatly disappoint your detractors who delude themselves into thinking that some how they can choose our leaders.

Why are they all “Brother”? Is this a religious affiliation?

The Black community in particular, and Bermuda in general, really miss the genuine and truthful leadership of Marc Bean and Marc Daniels. All we have now are people controlled by a man who caused more damage to the black community unlike any other. Hayward is just one of his servants. Wake up BPSU members Your President and his admin assistant(Betty Trump) are destroying your organisation.

Was being sarcastic. It sounds like they have a succession culture which helps a few “rotate” around. How much does the new post pay?

In 10 years time(when the is nothing remaining to defend) the union will realize their job is not just to defend members, but also to uptrain skills to on or near level with the private sector. I know this because its exactly the change that took place 20 years ago to unions in the US

What do you call that? The lesser of two (I want to say evils) but that’s not nice.

Very interesting to watch though.

“High on the BTUC’s agenda will be advocating for the implementation of a ‘Living Wage’, addressing systemic income inequality, strengthening workers’ wages and benefits and exploring the development of Co-operatives.”

The last 2 issues, “strengthening workers’ wages and benefits and exploring the development of co-operatives”, are proper issues for unions to deal with.

The first 2 issues, “implementation of a ‘Living Wage’ and addressing systemic income inequality”, are political issues, not workers’ rights and benefits issues. Leave those to your sisters and brothers in the PLP or declare the BTUC to be a political party rather than a trades union umbrella group.
