Please back up the “racist past” comment. I am sick of this situation where someone like you can throw around such nasty accusations without backing them up.

You really should ask the oba they change the UBP name to run away from it’s racist past. Opps did I answer a question with the #1 answer? Now run along and try to find some more people to front for you.

Just like PLP ministers not taking a pay cut, they still pocket th
E same amount of dollars. The PLP putting greed before the people of this country.

Their greed has resulted in sugar tax, higher payroll tax, price hikes and all to pay themselves.

You said it. Greed, just like the PLP ministers and cabinet, whose faux pay cut leaves them with the same take home dollars before as if nothing actually happened. Greed, me myself and I is a hallmark of PLP politicians.

They do not serve the people of Bermuda, they serve their own greedy selfish pockets at the expense of the people of Bermuda. Onion Juice, you simply aid the PLP in filling their pockets while people suffer. You are disgusting.

Can you tell me what was so bad about the UBP? Did you not like not having a national debt? How about over employment? We had a black middle class and an environment that saw many entrepreneurial black Bermudians become millionaires. If you have been told that the UBP was bad you should do some homework for yourself. Remember that the PLP will tell you anything to get elected. PLP have done nothing to move our economy ahead other than rename holidays and parks they have no substance whatsoever.

The UBP change their name to ubp/oba to try and sway black voters to return FACT.

The party is too DUMB to realize that it didn’t work but they still went alone and placed the last remaining surrogates to the front lines expecting a different result. (:

it is everyone’s business! if unions say no, where does that leave the budget deficit and the debt?

It is certainly Bermuda’s business. If there is no consensus then there will be serious consequences. The Bermuda Government does not have the revenue to continue with the current expenses. Either reduce costs or there will be redundancies. The choice lies with the Unions.

How will this impasse effect the plp’s election chances? Sadly that is what is holding up the process. The taxpayer can only tolerate so much. By my estimation we are close to another lock down so figure it out Mr. Minister.

good questions – if Dickinson wants to keep to the $175 mill deficit he forecast, then he needs the unions to accept these cuts.
we need an update – the public deserves one

Neither the Premier nor anyone else can impose “an enforced pay cut for those uniformed services”.

Opportunities to earn overtime pay can be curtailed, but a pay cut cannot be imposed by the PLP Government

Good questions! If the unions do not accept the deal there is no way for Dickinson to keep the budget deficit down to $175 mill unless Government imposes cuts – and how will that go down with the unions
