So as we wrap up 2007, our question is mission accomplished for whose benefit? The National Stadium is clearly a monument to the Political Leader and Hon. Prime Minister – one that will burden Grenada dearly for years to come. The burden is on the back of Grenada and Grenadians. But who cares? The Rt. Hon. Prime Minister got his damn stadium!!
I trust, Sirs, that a significant and crucial part of the new LIAT are plans to REPAIR and RESTORE the faith of the people of the region in LIAT. I trust that this is a COMMITMENT of all concerned – shareholders, board of directors, management and staff at all levels and that there is a collective effort in this regard. I am therefore at a loss to understand the recent industrial action taken by pilots and most recently by flight attendants. I do not doubt that there are legitimate grievances. I would hope that ALL issues were taken on board during the negotiation stage and a commitment given as to HOW and WHEN they would be resolved. Didn’t this transaction just SAVE a number of JOBS?
