For the last three years I have felt heartsick whenever this time of year comes around. The annual international commemoration of the struggles of workers for dignity and decent work will always now remind me of the contemptuous manner in which this current Labour Administration mistreated and insulted the former sugar workers when it haphazardly closed the sugar industry.

From the Prime Minister on down; Ministers competed viciously to see just how low they could go. The competition was strongest between Minister Harris and the Prime Minister. Minister Harris, who wasted Government resources to ensure that Calypso Reggie was prosecuted for cursing at him called on supporters to commit anti – social acts and deface Reggie’s political posters
