Here we go again. Instead of continuous training over a course of time they hurriedly organize a workshop or two before carnival as some sort of PR stunt aimed at making them look good. They’re normally held at awkward times when people are working and then they say “we held workshops and the attendance was poor”. The lady isn’t coming here for free, they’ll find money to pay her, put her up and feed her, but resist paying service providers they have owed for years. They’ll use the promise of paying monies owed as a way to bamboozle people into working for them again creating a situation where you will only get previous payments if you work for them this year. At the end of the year one can only hope. If you don’t take their mafia style terms you don’t work this year and you’ll never get what is owed. Shame on you Daryl Matthew and even more SHAME on you Khan Cordice for allowing the perpetration of persecution on your watch. It will take more than a PR stunt to set things right.
