How educated is this guy? Does he have a degree in Finance or Exonomics? It does not appear that he does based up his quotes.

‘As We Progress to a Fairer Bermuda’……….Why (pray tell) would a Union then craft their employment (Bargaining) agreement with Gov, with a stipulation that does NOT require performance appraisals for union employees, thereby lowering their performance/accountability standard from virtually all others in the general workplace?

As long as you have employers that will hire a nanny to look after children, take them to soccer/ballet, wash and walk dog, wash clothes, clean house,get groceries for $300 a week……. I beg to differ with you.
And this is 2018.

Mister Hayward works in the civil service on the Gov payroll for years and has that experience. Try the private sector for 5 years and then tell us what you know.

If hotels are $184 a night, how did he spend $1,610 on accomodation for two nights?

BS…$3600 for two nights is NOT reasonable at all.

Thats a reasonable amount to spend. You been to Toronto lately? It’s not cheap especially during baseball season!

I doubt very much if Vector are doing their jobs, mosquitoes are every where as open pots are responsible.

I caught 8 rats in 2017 ,this year I have caught 4 rats so far.

The last one ,Uncle Tom, was very large and exceptionally cunning, it took me about a month using many different types of mechanical devices.

For rats disposal, I am not in favour of using poison with a half life which goes on to kill otther animals.

Once rats set up residence in your house roof , you are in big trouble as rats carry killer diseases.

“and how about us workers who have to put up with stinking garbage and rats because our trash pickups have been reduced to once a week.”

If people kept their trash properly in bins and put it out ONLY on the morning of collection there would be no difference in the number of rats , which happen to be with us all the time .

Yada! Yada! Yada!

Same old tired rhetoric. I’m so sick of hearing it! Jason Hayward, Ed Ball and the rest of the union guys need to practice more of what they preach. In my opinion they’re nothing but a bunch getting paid bucks for doing virtually nothing!!!

It’s great to see they have solved the problem of underfunded pensions. We just all work until we die and never collect the pension. Simple. They are financial geniuses.

I still remember when the PLP took a ‘holiday’ from paying into the pension fund. They threw away our future, spending it on foreign consultants and lavish overseas travel.

And then this guy comes on and wants to pretend he’s all for ‘workers’. Yeah, until they want to spend your pension fund and make you work till you drop dead.

“Every worker should enjoy dignified working conditions and fair wages that enable them to enjoy a reasonable standard of living”

Does that include us workers who rely on the bus to go to work? No more strikes please and how about us workers who have to put up with stinking garbage and rats because our trash pickups have been reduced to once a week.

Us workers who pay their taxes, work hard, turn up on time, work overtime without any compensation and keep our heads down to keep our jobs, can we be allowed to do our jobs without the unions screwing up our living conditions????

“Every worker should enjoy dignified working conditions and fair wages that enable them to enjoy a reasonable standard of living”

And if the cost of living in Bermuda rises significantly as a result and all the money leaves for friendlier shores then the Unions will have what they want. A country for the workers, by the workers where all businesses are owned and operated by the workers.

“Additionally, Bermuda, as a Country, still has not earnestly discussed the subject of Independence”

I think you mean since 1995 when we had a referendum on the issue.

I’m sure you think it’s a ‘fairer Bermuda’ when a government minister can blow $3,600 of taxpayer money on two days in Toronto.

Money does not have a colour and it migrates to where it is respected. These jokers think anybody whoever ran a business is on a hustle when in fact it is a hard grind. I propose a Tax Payer Strike effective immediately until Government and Labour Unions start to support trade instead of always abusing it.
