EDITOR, The Tribune.

One thing with the Davis Administration they are good at spinning events and so-called political interventions – the redundancies at Freeport Container, a perfect example.

Seems local management of Container Port did not consult the HOA, which seems to indicate in case of redundancies they are required to give notice to the Labour Office, etc -simple mistake…no big deal. This was an incident which at the max should have been handled by the Ministry of Labour at the Freeport office…highest maybe the Minister. No, what did the Davis Government do? They ran it up the pole to involve the Prime Minister as if the Minister of Labour was totally impotent and zero consideration that the Minister is constitutionally ultimately legally responsible - did we hear from the Minister of Labour?

The poppy-cock so-called reasoning that the shipping Companies over the past two years had made large profits is so much mumbo-jumbo.

Editor, a container ship is not a Container Port. Any observer will know global shipping has cut back, especially trans-global China to the west, and that is the business of Freeport Container Port as well as from the Americas.

Over kill to gain political hay… And lord the media swallows it all up! Since September, 2021 have you observed the seemingly recruitment of media journalists who have been critical of Government into Government service or into some Government agencies? Ms Black… Wendell Jones… Clint Watson…some other names, which I forget, but people who now re-employed in Government and quasi-Government jobs - journalists are the worst paid professionals and now Juan McCartney to spokesperson for URCA. Coincidence?
