Scared of crime, tired of secret deals: protesters voice their frustrations
The voice of the people is NOT the voice of God. Like everything else strongmen have for centuries twisted the bible to manipulate a religious people who do not read
"The LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me"
Read, the voice of the people was a REJECTION of God as leader.
"Now then, listen to their voice; however, you shall solemnly warn them and tell them of the procedure of the king who will reign over them."
Warning concerning a King:
"So Samuel spoke all the words of the LORD to the people who had asked of him a king. He said, “This will be the procedure of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and place them for himself in his chariots and among his horsemen and they will run before his chariots. He will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and of fifties, and some to do his plowing and to reap his harvest and to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. He will also take your daughters for perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and your vineyards and your olive groves and give them to his servants. He will take a tenth of your seed and of your vineyards and give to his officers and to his servants. He will also take your male servants and your female servants and your best young men and your donkeys and use them for his work. He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his servants. Then YOU will cry out in that day because of YOUR king whom YOU have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day."

President of union to sue Sandals
What people like Mr. Ferguson, Omar Bernard & Shane Gibson need to understand is that Sandals isn't run like a government office where you have a job for life despite non performance. In private industry if you don't perform you get fired not relocated and neither the unions nor the government has any "rights" in dictating to private employers that they conduct their businesses the way government conducts theirs. Private enterprise doesn't have the luxury or safety net of the public purse and if their business doesn't perform they can't raise taxes or spend some more of the peoples money, they just go out of business. Omar Bernard's remarks that Sandals should not be allowed to resume operations with new employees is typical of the unions warped perspective that they would rather see the entire property remain closed because Sandals refuses to cave in to union extortion.
