Do not be duped my fellow workers. Do not trust these union officials. How come is only now he wants to shut down the sector when we have been complaining about reduced work hours, incorrect service charge and ha**ment by security staff for so many years and he has done nothing? It is something he is looking and trying to use us to achieve it. Please go to work if the ABWU calls a strike. This whole thing is suspicious - especially the part where Antigua Resorts and Sandals want to do a side deal with ABWU. This proves that these guys getting free food and rooms from these hoteliers for years. Maybe AHTA is fed up of them and shut down their privileges but the other groups are willing to continue to feed them.

Chester Hughes is Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Member of Parliament and also Officer of a Trade Union? He is a member of government (employer) and member of union (worker). This cannot be right. Only in Antigua can something like this happen. And the UPP told me they would have made all the wrongs right. What a joke! Give me a break!!

Don't worry - there will be no strike in the hotel sector in A&B this season.

Ignorance & stupidity, just like the Liat pilots, the only thing they will succeed in doing is shooting themselves in the foot.

**Only in Antigua** » 2011-12-22 08:44

As Mr B often said Only in Antigua when faceing the worst economic crisis in recient history would some foolish union boss even think of calling a strike. Between the Liat union and now the hotel union we are prepairing to shut down the ecomony of the nation. What do we tell our children. Sorry we have no education system, no jobs, no future for you because we spent it all on ourselves and when we wanted more we went on strike and shut our own economy down.
The next time you hear people laughing at the stupidity of our nation, remember how we solve our most important challanges. Dumb animals know not to soil there own homes.
