You are, of course, correct. But this is not a new discussion. It has been going on for generations. It was even going on in the tourism boom days of the 1970s and 1980s.

Where will it benefit companies to pay the 15%?
Also pity the employee nearing 13 years. Will they still have a job at 13 years plus one day, or lose it on 12 and 364?

Any guesses as to what that is? Perhaps a few IB companies planning their Bermuda exit in 2025. Watch this space!

A piggy bank? No. This cost will be added on so up goes the cost of living the same way it went up drastically with the minimum wage which has not encouraged Bermudians to enter any industry where they are needed.

If no qualified Bermudian applies as a surgeon, chef, accountant etc what do we do when you arrive and want service? Many businesses hire and train only to hear you and many others complain about the poor service or no service received when too many locals have issues which you yourself complain about and why you and others won’t even open a business because you know what you will get.Dah..

Look at his C.V. Jason Hayward is a union man. That is why he is there.

It certainly is not for his knowledge of economics!

Burt is smart, what is his trust in this guy. And it isn’t 1978, unions are a thing of the past.

Even if you have, there are not enough jobs available as the PLP welcome cheap foreign labour in their droves. PLP are not in it for Bermudians, Have you realized that yet?
