Which happens to be illegal under current law.

Employers find a way to dismiss those who point this out.

Furthermore, line staff in the Bahamas are not given health insurance. So what extra cost ? $15 per week for people on minimum wage? It is ridiculous.

"passing COVID to our guests"?????

What kind of warped thinking is that?? This delta variant came from one of them same tourists. It didnt originate here it travelled here.

The reality is we DO need tourist dollars, the reality is also they're our biggest COVID risk. Viruses and variants travel

You need to write the attorney general and the MP, or some other entity which made the law requiring employers to pay for the test.

You neo nazis are tiring me. Go to Australia. The neo nazi premier surely has a job for you.

What's the logic of forcing ONLY the unvaccinated to take and pay for their covid tests? The vaccinated can also catch and transmit the virus. We are even testing persons who travel into the country, vaccinated and unvaccinated. The logic of employers who do this escapes me....

Agreed rosiepi…Get the vaccine!! Why should them not wanting to take the vaccine become the employers problem. PCR is $185.00 ($740 per week) and Rapid Antigen is $30.00 ($120 per month) Vaccine is free $0.00...Plenty people looking for employment will take the vaccine to have your job.

tribanon 3 years, 6 months ago on ATLANTIS AXE FALLS ON 700: Resort confirms ‘difficult but necessary’ decision to make staff redundant

Brookfield's bean counters have no doubt been told to sharpen their pencils and model cash flows, etc. under a worse case scenario where all but one or two of Atlantis's main hotel buildings are shutdown and at least two-thirds of its existing staff complement are laid-off by the end of this year at the latest.

It's no secret that Brookfield had been trying to off-load its entire Atlantis resort property for quite a few years before the Wuhan Virus came along, but those efforts did not meet with any great success beyond the sale of the Ocean Club and Hurricane Hole properties. The cash bleed out rate must now be such that more desperate measures need to be carefully considered.

And let's face it, what Minnis and D'Aguilar have done to make the Wuhan Virus so much more worse for our economy than it should have been does not exactly instill Brookfield's partners and managing directors with any great degree of confidence that the Bahamas will be seeing large numbers of tourists anytime in the foreseeable future.
