Philipsburg: --- The commissioner of labour Hyacinth Richardson has agreed to continue discussions on the revised labour policy with the executive council. The commissioner met with the unions on Tuesday where they outlined their concerns regarding the abrupt removal of the labour policy.
According to President of the Chamber of Labour Unions Willy Haize the commissioner has decided to take their concerns to the executive council where a decision would be taken on how to move forward with the policy. Haize said the commissioner also apologized to the unions as well as to the tripartite committee for not informing them about the intentions of the executive council.
It has been determined that the policy does have some flaws and while it maybe intended to protect locals it is instead hampering locals. SMN News also understands that the executive council intends to review the policy and make the necessary changes so that the policy can become workable for everyone’s benefit.
