Shades of 1981 here when the island was shut down & initiated the slide in tourism as a mainstay in our economy.

It makes no sense to me. Illegal strike and fighting for non union members. Ask the direct questions to minister and premier.

You really are not switched on. Blind compliance to a cause is just pathetic. Please stop blindly following. The good lord in heaven above gave you a brain and a mind to use to reason through things. Please don’t let our lord down. Use your head and thinknon your own.

My comment is truth not scare tactics. Don’t spin this.

Your comment makes me very sad for you.

This is a disgrace. I am 100% in support of Mr. Durfy and I support unions. They were completely in the wrong for this. Now get back to work. Shame on government for doing nothing.

LOL. Clueless and out of his depth. How about the illegal strikers go back to work? How about that in the interests of Bermuda?

You made this bed, now lie in it.

Bermuda needs more jobs not less. A third pillar that may prove to be Bermuda’s downfall.

You know, the rule of law, sanctity of contracts … oh wait, not those issues.

It’s the issue of respect. Gotta learn them Canadians to say ‘Good Mawnin’ before anything gets done.

If the people involved weren’t unionized then this strike is completely illegal. Does this government not care about the rule of law. How wimpy and embarrassing.

Can someone in the media ask a direct question to the minister or premier on what their thoughts are on that? I’d certainly enjoy hearing the answer.

This industry relie heavily on a secure and stable power source.

The Premier has openly crtiticized Bermuda’s Banking industry for not banking crypto (due to risks pointed out to them by their correspondent banking partners). The Premier has been very vocal about in his disdain for the lack of support.

Well today–the Union just shot one huge missle across the Premier’s Flagship Fintech story. The fact that power might be interrupted will send shivers down the spines of every CEO that bought the Bermuda/Premier and Wayne Caines story.

The Premier has to level the same criticism at the Union and he has at the Banks–or the hypocrisy will be laid bare for the world to see.

Good luck Prmier walking this tight rope!!

I personally think it is unhelpful in the negotiations for the union to choose the nuclear option and go on strike.
