We need leadership, not leader-sheep.

“until every last Bermudian who wants to be employed is employed!”

Yes, but how many Bermudians do know who want a *career* in commercial cleaning?

This has been a problem in Bermuda for decades. A person will take a job for the sake of having a job and then move on with little or no warning when a better job comes along.

A business needs reliable employees day in and day out, not employees who come to work when they feel like it.

Notice – only low paying jobs – nothing new….
While many international businesses still do not have many initiatives for entry level workers or placement of our students or much policing.
I have had to many young tenants with basic degrees get a job with Delot…… ; yet my niece can’t get in with a college degree and a positive resume due to consistent summer employment of 4 years, despite them claiming to look for young Bermudians.
Everyone employs the students for summer. It’s the full time employment that becomes a problem.

Jobs like Bartender have always been closed to ex pats. There are enough Bermudians to go around.

But jobs like Commercial Cleaner, Administrative Assistant (Secretary), Reporters/Journalists and Waiter are jobs where there have never been enough qualified Bermudians who want the job in my lifetime. And I am a Baby boomer (Born before 1965)!

3…so BCL is done??? And only a year after the 170-years celebration…WOW

14…hmmmm, aren’t the more acclaimed/experienced reporters non-Bermudians??? Don’t amswer that.

28…What about hairdressers???

39…If this is code for nanny, these busy/lazy/rich workers will either have to reduce the job requirements or leave the island. Which is more likely?

It doesn’t effect the contract worker’s renewals you silly troll. Only new people coming in.

Finally. These jobs should only be open to Bermudians for the foreseeable future. I don’t understand why only new permits fall into this category. These jobs should be for Bermudians until every last Bermudian who wants to be employed is employed!

Talk doesn’t match action. Lies lies and more propaganda.

It does bear all the hallmarks of a knee-jerk reaction without any thought of consequence. It is typical, of course, PLP modus operandi.

Irrational decisions made with little to no thought on how this will negatively impact businesses.
