Yes. They gave those permits away. The AC and Aceon are both exempt from work permit fees.

Yesitsme – What jobs did you apply for? I bet zero! Many Bermudians took advantage and created new businesses while many others will be working every day they can. Others have worked construction, IT, transportation, advertising, media, Food & Beverage. Talk to anyone working on the docks, trucking, Customs or transportation and ask them when they remember last being this busy! Speak with your local Fisherman and see how many have orders for fresh fish in the upcoming weeks. Talk to the hotels, the bike rental stores and let us know how they’re doing. Talk to the Liquor and Wine Merchants, the wholesalers and ask them if they have fewer staff. Talk to anyone working in the tourism field and ask if things are slow enough that they can take vacation in the next few months?

You know what, if you are too lazy to do that – just take a look at the amount of traffic going in and out of Hamilton today compared to five years ago.

You are full of it, and we all know it.

The only opportunities available are those for servants. I’m not interested nor am I serving anyone. The point remains that Bermudians by large are not benefitting and we are unprepared for an event of this magnitude. You clearly have not looked into it.

And in September 80% of you will be unemployed. Just in time for the election I hope. I’m sure you’ll be very bitter by then.

By: EB

EB — Tue, 16 May 2017 17:31:57 +0000

The numbers don’t lie. Thousands of unemployed Bermudians while they give out over a thousand work permits. This contradicts what the OBA promised

Hmmm I would want to know what was the cost of each work permit or did they just give those work permits away?

The hospital was about 60/40 in terms of Bermudian to expat jobs as per the PLP in the House. Yet they stayed silent.

The airport is expected to be roughly the same or 70/30.

By: Cow Polly

Cow Polly — Tue, 16 May 2017 12:12:25 +0000

Even your beloved PLP had to issue work permits for the hospital.

As Navin Johnson says above, Bermudians don’t need training to do things they’ve never done before lol!!!!

Yes, because we have so many Bermudian Senior Hydro-Geologists just waiting to start work.
Let me guess, you are one of them!

People like you need a basic education before spouting off on social media. Get a clue. If we had all of the brains and skilled man-power to build an airport, do you think the one we have would be crumbling around our feet?

What is sickening is your lack of knowledge or basic forethought before typing stuff like that.

The BERMUDIAN own, BERMUDIAN run and 80% BERMUDIAN company I work for is crazy busy – we’ve had to change our delivery schedules and everything to suit.

Vote The OBA Out! — Tue, 16 May 2017 10:44:10 +0000

Sickening.

So the airport isn’t even out of the ground and 59 work permits issued to Aecon.

OBA started lying and will leave office lying. 59 Canadians taking jobs where Bermudians should be working to build their own Airport.

We see you OBA – and come election day, hope you can get a job in Canada because you won’t have one here.

YOU get nothing because you either have no marketable skills, or you’re too lazy to get off your ass and do anything….yet another one looking for handouts.

Speak for yourself! I’m Bermudian in the hospitality industry and I’m seeing benefits from the AC and have been for a good while now, as have many others. Have you taken advantage of the opportunities created by the AC? Have you even looked at what they might be?

What was MP Rabain looking for? Something to fling against a wall in the hopes that a little would stick? Guess he did not know who he was dealing with. Good job Minister. Not even enough to leave a stain.
